Thank you. Plenty of compression it feels like. This may sound somewhat ignorant but when I pull the plug and try to ark it to something Seem like I only am suggessful part of the time. But I think I'm not getting the lug grounded or something. I guess i need to grab my ***** and put a screwdriver in the plug wire. But I am pretty sure it has spark. I Bought fuel rail service kit. Any advice on cleaning the injectors?

What are the odds that I damaged the MAF ( I didnt spray a ton) and will that cause it not to run or not run on 1 cylinder? I figured it would just run rough if MAF was bad

for just a basic I got **** in the line clean, spray them off with brake clean or other non-residue solvent. Blow the lines out the same way. If anything got past the filters, its easier to just replace the injectors.
