Is this a Jspec engine... the fuel lines are run backwards compared to their USDM counterparts....

My money is on the walblow though... those pumps suck
really? I've used walbro in a few different applications over years and never heard of a problem. I know there were some problems with counterfeits floating around. I'm definitely going to check fuel pressure.

Fuel injectors were cleaned by a fuel injection shop about.... 8/9 months ago?

definitely not a jspec engine.

A lot of cleaners will cause the fuel injectors to get stuck if left for over several weeks.
Check with the shop that did the cleaning if this were the case...

You can verify this by "wiring" (i.e. use pieces of wire or wire tie) the fuel injectors to the fuel rail.
Pull the fuel injectors and fuel rail at the same time.
Place a rag under the tips.
Have a friend crank the car...
Visually confirm you get "squirts" of fuel.

8/9 months after getting them back
I rigged a test light to verify that the injectors were firing. So I know I'm getting a signal to the injectors. If it comes to it I'll have to pull them and test to make sure they spray. I've got a couple other things to check and I'll report my results back.

thanks fellas!
