Take them out and clean them. It takes 5 minutes and you dont have to give attitude cause no one will hold your hand.

better yet, just pull the fuel rail with the injectors still on em. tape them in. and have someone try to start your car. You might need the light from a candle to help see the fuel better

no its not because i want someone to hold my hand...I wanted help like forums used for...but all you get is people guessing......it seems very few seem to remember when they needed help and now the sit on their thrones like jackasses spitting out dumb comments about candles and saying "search" fifty times because they know how to bolt in some hasport mounts and plug in a rywire harness(by the way most of the time you search a problem on this sight you get alot of topics but all people say in them is "search" is that ironic or what?)

crxguy did a great job of helping. the problem wasnt really the answer he gave, but the question you asked.

Even when you re-worded your question he gave a good answer. Maybe a little rough to understand. but good answer none the less.

About the only thing better would be if someone came and held your hand.

You mention a TDC code 8. The ECU looks for a signal from that sensor to continue delivering power to the injectors via the main relay. (Fuel pump is also controled in this manner). I would correct the situation causing the code 8 and go from there. Good luck.

Code 8 is a dist malfunction...get a known good dist and start car up it should correct your problem...
