i have put in new plugs and it still turns over and tries to start.every once in awhile it will catch and run for a couple seconds. i am goin gto try to put in a new fuel filter and a new fpr to see if that helps. i am still looking for any other thoughts that it might be. Also was wondering but what if an oring fell into the hole and did not come out with the injector would that cause it not to run? i guess i am just reaching for anything at this time to get it running.
