Default Stuck fuel rail

Hey Guys,

Put in a new (re manufactured) starter and engine turns over fine but doesn't fire. Have spark and fuel to the rail but plugs are dry and I'm suspecting injectors dirty or plugged. I've got voltage to the injectors. I've removed all the hoses, wiring, and mounting bolts from the fuel rail but can't get the rail with injectors attached to come out.as it should per Clark's Garage. I can wiggle it but can't get it to come out.

Any tips for removal would be greatly appreciated. I'm reluctant to pry as I don't want to break something, like an injector.

Thanks,
Pete

Pete, you can remove the clip that secures the injector to the fuel rail. Remove the 4 clips, then pull the rail. Then pull each injector.

Good idea. I'm going to take the injectors out anyway to clean and test.
Thanks,

Where are you in Indiana?
