Well, the injectors are going off to Sssquid for refurb. Their customer service is awesome and they are going to get them flowing for me at no charge, despite these being stuck probably being my fault for letting them sit for so long.
I did try to free them myself with no luck. Applying 12 & 20V pulses, and smacking them on the workbench, did not help. I also clamped some 15mm PCV hose into the outlet side, poured in some injector cleaner and then pressurized it to 45PSI with my air compressor while pulsing & smacking them, but even trying to back-flow them like that made no difference. Whatever is in E85 and/or the Lucas stuff certianly seems to turn to cement after a few months! I don't want to risk really messing these up, so I will let the professionals work on them. Considering this project started in November...what is another week of delay, really? Plus, now I know that every single other sensor and actuator is working properly since I tested it all lol.
I promise to get pics up at some point. I am taking them as I go, but don't have time to edit & upload right now.
