Anyone ever had injectors that have sat around for a few years seize ?
Trying to start this motor after 5yrs in the shed uncovered.
I have new fuel pump, spark, injector pulse, new fuel but still no fire.
The car will start and run with fuel squirted into the throttle body.
The conclusion i have arrived at is rusted/blocked injectors any other thoughts before i send them to get checked ?

Cheers mick

yes.

in the past I've just found a bit of hose to put over the inlet of the injector, put some fuel/carby clean in and blew on it with my mouth while manually pulsing it with some scrap wire/alligator clamps connected to a battery. It's a quick and dirty way of checking without many tools to see if they at least open up.

you could get creative and rig up a fuel pump/ aerosol can if you wish. they key is to pulse them rapidly, but they may be too far gone, or they'll be fine and you have another issue.

have you confirmed there is fuel at the rail?

Yeah rail is full and pump has good pressure
