Guys,

More mental puzzle for those in the know.

I got good spark. Switched Distributor cap and coil.

Fuel pump came on pegged fuel pressure gauge at 30 pounds. No fuel through injectors. Engine runs when fuel is poured in throttle body.

I cracked a fuel line at the gauge to see if I was in fact getting pressure. Yes I am, but don't know how much as the gauge is now toast and remains pegged at 30 pounds.

Some where I read about physically tapping the injectors with a wooden screw driver. Any tips from this point are welcome.

Spark is no problem, Pump sounds and pressure seems to exist. When the engine quits I hear a squeal from around the throttle body?

Should I take an electric reading at each injector connector while cranking? Also crack the supply line at the throttle body to check for fuel?

I think I am down to a simple fuel issue at the throttle body. I have no way to measure fuel pressure at this time.

Thanks,
Tom
