Default Engine wont start after having fuel injectors cleaned!

Just sent a set of Beiges off to be cleaned/refurbed. Got them back and fitted them, now the car won't start... In the paperwork with the injectors it said they were all fine and that sometimes they stick after cleaning, so to tap each injector on the metal body if this happens, i have tried this and still no luck...
The car fires on 2cylinders and then cuts out, injectors 1&3 are not firing. Should i remove the injectors and spray a little wd40 through them to free them off?

Cheers

If you don't get them working mate, check your efi injector wiring loom. Sounds silly as your car was working fine, but i had a wire break on the back of an injector connector from being fitted and removed too many times.

Easy to check with a multimeter.

Other wise give injector tune a call?

Rob,

I think this is a wiring problem. IIRC (and I don't have a diagram in front of me) injectors 1 & 3 , and 2 & 4 are fired in pairs on a single circuit. Looks like you have one circuit with a dodgy connection that has knocked out two injectors.

I've had loads of injectors cleaned and never had a problem. I've never even had to tap one before.

You could test by swapping them around with 2 & 4, or just connecting up another spare injector to see if the injector clicks..

Removed and "tapped" all injectors and all are now working bar No1...

But the standard injectors back in and it runs fine!

Gonna give injectortune a call - fucking cowboy outfit!

Be fair Roger, you cant exactly call them a cowboy outfit until you've spoken to them. If they offer to swap it for free or something, you can't say fairer!?

I think you can call someone a cowboy outfit if they say to have tested something and claim its fully working when it clearly isn't!
I have emailed them and i'll keep you updated as to their reply, but it hasnt set them in my good books.
