We just replaced fuel pump in gas tank. We are getting fuel to the throttle body, but will not start. Van has set up for 5 years. Every thing works, just will not start.

Do we have to take out injectors, or is there an easy way without taking them apart?

Help. Have shade tree mechanic who wants to all but tear down the engine. Please help.

Desperate.

you can purchase a fuel injector cleaning kit which will allow you to flush out the fuel injectors still on vehicle. it uses pressurized solvent that runs through the engine. be certain to read the kit's instructions carefully so you don't risk personal injury or harming engine.
