      I need troubleshooting advice on this install.
      My car now won't start and doesn't seem to be getting fuel through the injectors. I pulled the injectors and they don't appear to have any fuel at the nozzle, should they?
      There is fuel through the rail.
      The inside of my old fuel line looked terrible, could this deterioration have caused failure with my injectors?
      When I cut my new lines I cleaned the ends well, but did not flush the entire line, did I leave garbage in there causing my injectors to fail?
      I don't see anything in the injector head, but didn't think I would? Is there an at home way to clean them? Is it worth sending out for pro cleaning?
      When I buttoned everything up, I ran the pump for 15-20 minutes without attempting to start, my thought was it would flush any garbage back to the tank and filter.
      Any thoughts on where to start? I have another set of injectors that are 32lb/hr, car is setup for 50lb/hr. Do I throw them on and see if I get fuel through them?

      TIA,
      Ron

      I replaced the injectors with the 32's and it started almost immediately. The chip isn't setup for these, so it wasn't idling well.
      Off to the local injector guy. I am still open to criticism and/or advice. I would like to at least learn from this.
      TIA,

      YES. The hose would be deteriorated along the entire length not just at the point where the leak was.

      Cleaning the ends of the new lines should be OK

      I would send them to a pro. There are injector cleaners you can use but to get aal tthe crud out they need a professional cleaning

      I took the injectors to a pro and got some not so good news. Flow rates are all over the place and two respond erratically. There was a ton of trash in the injectors baskets. It may be time to up the 50's to 60's.
      I've drained the tank, replaced the fuel filter and cleaned the fuel rail when I pulled the injectors, any other ideas?
