Starting Problems

I just put on a used set of injectors and just my luck one leaks, will this leaky injector keep the car from starting at all? If not what do you guys think it is? It will just crank and crank and no start...
Any help would be appreciated

what have you checked? anything or just ask on the message boards? do you have fire? compression? air/fuel mix? if so it should fire, long as you've not changed anything. why did you change injectors? did it work before you made the change?

I have already checked to see if the plugs fire and they do, it is not flooded, compression is fine, the only thing that i changed was the injectors, and i did that because the last set was too big.

gabe,
do you know what these injectors are?
if they are more than 14ohms resistance each
possible the injectors are more for DFI systems.
the stock computers can only take 14-17ohms
saturations injectors. there are different
type injectors.
ive ran into the same injector problems.
installe 26# msd 2ohm injectors and the car would
not start. reinstalled the 24# svo 15ohm and
the car started. replace the injectors with
accel 26# 14ohm and we started again.
the 2ohm is too much for the computer to drive.
thats 1ohm to open and one to hold open.
from experience.
do you really know what these injectors are?

airdeano,
the injectors are out of a tpi 'vette (L98), except he had the cold start injector, would that make a difference since i dont have it?
