greetings all,

been trolling and searching here for a while, but i have become stuck and hoping folks on here can share their knowledge. I have 73 ES with dreaded FI, end of last year gasoline started filling up in the oil so much so it would be 1 quart over the max fill line.

I pulled the injectors and sent them off to be reconditioned, upon installing i had same issue. I have not been able to find inj, i tried and failed with crap on ebay only to find all the inj they were sending me only fire at 12v not 3v.

I eventually found VP autoparts who sent me new aftermarket injectors (i still ended up using my orig seals as new ones they came with were rubbish) and have a no start condition.

so i did:

1. cleaned FI contactor and have 3V to each inj
2. cranked engine with fuel rail / inj disconnected from block, and i have gas to all 4 injs.
3. installed gauge on the rail and i have 28 -30 lbs fuel pressure.

all 4 cyl compression check at 125, the engine has 98k on it

i have been trying to start car now for a week, it appears i stil have same issue, car wants to start then dies immediately, overnight the fuel pressure falls back to zero and i have the oil above max mark and climbing and the engine has yet to start and run..... what am i missing here gents?

the engine has not run in 8 months, i have drained tank and put fresh gas, frustrated and about to give up on this thing.....

thanks in advance,
