HELP, I have a problem!
Installed a new injector, went to bump the starter to fill the hpop rails and it won't turn over, seems like it's seized.

Did you get the fuel/oil out of the cylinder before you installed the injector?
Sounds like you are hydrolocked.

One of my favorite tricks is to forget to plug in the MAP sensor.

I went out and wiggled a bunch of connections. I worked in television for 17 years, that's what the engineers did then acted like they fixed something! I quite calling them after a while and did the wiggling myself. Anyway, got in started it up and still had ses light. I shut it down and started again, no light. Repeated, no light. We'll see what happens. Thanks again for the help Dan!

I've been a carpenter for 20 years. I'd hit it with a succession of increasing hammer sizes until I got the response I was looking for.

I think your approach is better. I may have to try this "wiggling" thing myself.
