I'm not sure, just because its firing doesnt mean it's not clogged or leaky.

Is there anyone local that can clean/rebuild them?

InjectorPulse.com, bringing life back to your injectors!

X is a NASA racer/compliance director and based out of Virginia Beach. He'd have a quick enough turnaround.

As much as X is great for service, I doubt your injectors would go all bad at once.  Funnier things have happened, but I would look at other low hanging fruit first.

Let's first diagnose why it won't start before figuring out all the other issues.  And don't just keep trying to fire it, stop, take a minute to check things first.

You check fuel/spark yet?


You say it's not even trying to fire, you need to find out why first.
Check fuel pressure using the schraeder valve and free rental tool from autozone after checking the above.  All that cranking can do odd things like pop fuel relays and burn down grounds.
Did you pull your spark plugs after deciding to fry your starter by turning it over for 40 minutes?  Wouldn't be surprised to see if they are completely doused in fuel.

Also sounds like your starter is engaging and releasing slowly.  Pull it out and do a quick check on the bench.  Not why it wouldnt start but that thing doesnt sound healthy.
