I know someone else has had the joy of this. I got busy and neglected to start my '85 Riviera sitting in the garage for about a year. Now when I jumped it off, there isn't enough fuel pressure to open the injectors. I'm assuming it has gummed things up pretty well.

I'm going to drain the tank, and replace the filter. But how do I go about cleaning out the injectors and the lines? Is there something I can attach to the Schroeder valve by the injectots and work backwards from there?

Appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks,
Mike

Seafoam is the ONLY engine cleaner i've used that actually works. Very good stuff.
