ok, so i was changing my oil today and i decide to clean my injectors, so i pull them out, soak them in some injector cleaner, put them back in, and now my 240 wont start. it turns over for a second, and then it starts to go click click click click click. so i put on the battery charger, let it charge, and it does it again. Did i do something wrong? did i flood the engine, if so what should i do about it? i dont know what to do, i just got the 240 on thrursday and its my first import, i know stuff about it, but not as much as i would like to know, can anyone help me?

Did you let them dry out properly? You didn't wipe them with anything out of the ordinary? It's possible the engine may be flooded but I'm not sure. Try and start the car with the throttle wide open so it won't deliver any more fuel as starting it at WOT is at the fuel cut.

ok, so i got my 240 started up now, i took some starter flujid and sprayed down the injectors and sprayed some in the holes and it started right up. unfortunatly, the last owner seemed to have misplaced one of the bolts on the fuel rail, so now gas spits everywhere. also, an o-ring has gone missing and an injector is cracked, so now i have to source out some parts so that i can get it running properly. thanks for the help guys, if anyone knows where i can find some good injectors for cheap, let me know
