I had free time this afternoon, so I decided to tinker with the car a bit more.

I used my test light on the injector plug while I had someone crank the car, and sure enough, I had a pulsing light. So, apparently, the injectors are receiving the signal to pulse, but they aren't acting on it.

I'm thinking they're completely clogged, or just dead.

I took the fuel rail off and pulled the injectors out. I saw one had a missing nozzle hat (it's possible it was pulled off, or fell off in pieces when I popped the injectors up - no biggie, since I intend to replace), another had a bad o-ring, and the inlets where the injectors go into the intake manifold were as filthy as filthy could be.

I'm going to give cleaning these injectors a shot, following the technical article, here on Pelican Parts. If I can get fuel to the cylinders, then I can just worry about that broken coil circuit.

I'm headed back to work early tomorrow morning, so I'll have to do all that once I find more time.
