  Replaced tips and had injectors poped, re installed and cranked this thing for a good 20 - 40min and nothing.
  
  I'm getting some slight bubbling from #1 and #4 but that's it.
  
  Any sugestions?

    Sounds like you loosened the injector line at the injector to bleed air from the lines, right? Is the fuel cut solenoid getting power? #3 injector electrical connection hooked up? (although I think the car still starts with it unhooked)

  It just started. Some magic blue smoke leaked out of the starter but it finally started. I've never had such a hard time getting one of these started after a injector swap.
  Thanks for the help though.

• You should put the smoke back in the starter ASAP  :lol:

  Yes yes!
  
  Ya know though, I've just never had much luck getting it back in.
  I've tried the smoke in a can before but it just leaks out.
