<div dir="ltr">It worked previously for me. Last year, I installed an ebay engine that I bought at least 12 years ago that I had sitting around. None of the injectors fired up initially. After tapping on the injectors while cranking the engine, all four eventually came back to life. Some of the injectors had to be "tapped" pretty hard! The 96 has run great for 10k miles now.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Sep 27, 2016 at 1:13 PM, Kieran Lavin <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:kieran@kieranlavin.com" target="_blank">kieran@kieranlavin.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<div dir="ltr">Another data point. Just started up my 91 SE-R last week after it had been sitting outside untouched on a trailer for 4.5 years. It started right up! However, it was only running on 3 cylinders also. Swapped the fuel injector and it ran perfectly.
You may try tapping on the injector while it running. Lots of times that will get it firing again.<br>

I've been aware, in the back of my head, of Jim's point about the gas tank. I'd really rather not have to drop the tank and have it cleaned, at least not yet. When I drop the engine again maybe I will do that. I'm kinda crossing my fingers that new gas, injector
cleaning, and a new filter(s) will take care of it.<br>
