Re: 95 Saturn SC2 5 speed - ENGINE REMOVAL

Got some more info...put the new plugs in. I had to get AC platiums because that was the only ones they had for it. Cranked with nothing. Took the air cleaner snout off at the throttle plate and squirted a bit of Throttle Body Cleaner in it and it hit and ran just a sec then died. Ok...so it is fuel. I got a stethascope and could not hear the injectors clicking at all when turning it over. Pulled plugs and they ok and not wet. I jack the car back up and go over all of my wires and connections. I don't have an ohm meter/voltage meter. My dad swiped it and I never saw it again. (i need to go get one). So, I could not check my injectors etc. Pulled all of the injector wires/clips off and then pushed them back on. Cranked more...nothing...cranked more and it HIT just a bit. So..for long time I cranked and it would hit and die...etc.
NOW the car will run and idle but it is missing on the #1 cyl. I double checked the fire and it is good. Pulled the plug and it is ok and not fouled. I got the stethascope out and started it up...now I can hear clicks on #2 and #4 but NOT #1 or #3??? It is too smooth to be running on only 2 clys I think but who knows. Anyway, dad come by during all of this and says...you know..those goobers up there were sawing boards in that trailer with your engine in it. Do you think they got saw dust in the fuel rail? Well probalby...also, like a dumb @ss I went up and sprayed the engine off at the car wash and didn't cover those tubes. I did put a bag over the intake but not the fuel lines. I guess what I'm saying is...does the injectors pulse if they are clogged with crap? I'm thinking they may be really clogged up? What do you all thing? I have the engine that came out of the car and it is in MY shed covered and clean. I could take the injector rail out of it but I don't know how they come out etc? My haynes manual is no help. Would I have to get new O rings to do this?
Sorry for all of the questions. We are very excited now that we can hear it running. I'm kind of stumped as to why 2 injectors pulse or click but the other 2 do not.
Thanks for responding RC
