Alright so my motors not starting whatsoever
cranks over fine, has spark.
compression is 118 across the board
hooked a fuel pressure gauge up to it and it has no pressure at all.
changed the o rings on the injectors which did nothing.
fuel pump starts and works. fuel filter is working fine
the injectors however seem to be fine, but could they be stuck open leaking fuel into the cylinder heads?
Im about 2 quarts over in oil from fuel and trying to start it
how common do the fuel injectors go bad in the ka24e's?
another odd thing i have come accross. since i cant test the fuel injectors out of the motor (they spray out the top and cant build up any pressure) is the gas line inlet if i squeeze it when the car is in the on position i hear a squishing noise like you squeeze a bottle with a nozzle on it. im loosing pressure somewhere but see no fuel anywhere, i assume its all going into the engine. just wanting to check before i go buy injectors as they are $40 each and i need all 4 because i cant indiviually test them.
finally are there any codes that would pop up for a faulty injector?
Sorry if im jumbled up but just trying to get it all out.

where i squeeze is here
