Thank you. |
The above advice is all spot on, but I thought I'd chuck this in: How much
fuel are you expecting to come out when you say "crack the
fuel line"??
Try this first:
1. Disconnect the fuel
lines at the injectors
completely. Cap off the injectors so you don't get anything in them.
2. Put a clean rag under the ends to catch any fuel that comes out.
3. Have someone crank the engine - for several seconds. You should see
tiny spurts of fuel out the end of each fuel
line.
