I just bought a 1994 Q45 w/ 76,xxx miles on it. The cars check engine light had turned on a couple of days after I bought it. I Pulled the codes which were 34 and 51 (fuel injector and knock sensor). I ran ohm tests on them and then proceeded to replace them. Last night I put the plenum back on and hooked up all hoses and clips and brackets. NOW the car wont even start. When it cranks, it doesnt sound smooth like normal. It stutters when cranking. Please help me!! Any help and advise will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading this!

welcome to NICO!

does the car seem like its flooded? CAn you describe which injectors you replaced and did you put in new O rings... what injectors did you replace with.

No new hoses? New plenum gaskets? New O rings on the injectors? New KS harness?

How did you remove the fuel from the fuel rail to keep from dumping the entire contents into a cylinder [when you pulled the injector out of rail ].?

Flooding and probably hydrolocking the cylinder with gasoline.............cranking a hydrolocked engine will usually bend a rod.
