I learned something interesting. It turns out the fuel rail in a 6.1 Hemi does not drain when you disconnect the fuel lines. It also turns out that the small amount of fuel sitting in the fuel rail turns metal into rust over the course of 3 years and plugs every single injector. On the bright side, I think we got the wiring right. When the fuel injectors are back from their cleaning and a new rail is in place, this girl should be running.

Having the same issues. I let the GTO sit for about 4 months over winter, and even with brand new 93 octane and Sta-Bil at the time of fueling, the ethanol has already separated and the engine is running on the knock-sensor. Modern fuel sucks, and the only place to get real gas is an hour drive from here.
