Car won't start injector problem please help

[cornish6544]

So my classic has been sitting for around 2 months and I went to drive it and it ran out of fuel after I topped it up with £10 worth of fuel it failed to start. This has been put down to at least one injector which has sucked up a grain of dirt or something and is stuck open.

Is there a way to tell which injector/injectors are stuck open and need to be replaced?

I've been told to remove spark plugs and when the ignition is turned on fuel will continue to leak from the stuck open injector? is this the case?

Do you hear a whirring sound from the fuel pump, if put my money on a dead fuel pump.

Put the car to ignition on, and listen out for a buzzing and whirring sound.

fuel pump seems fine it's an RCM one only been in a year. I know its the injectors just not sure how to tell which one is stuck open. I think its a injector stuck open because one of my spark plugs stunk of fuel and the fuel is in  my oil

Fuel filter (under the bonnet) or the fuel sock (attached to the pump in the tank) should collect any debris from running the tank low .

Id suggest to inspect/ change those first [emoji6]

thanks, bulldogs but there is fuel leaking into the exhaust, plugs and into the oil wouldn't this mean one of the injectors is stuck open?

If one injector stuck open/leaking the plug for that cylinder will be swamping wet .

I can do a relative balance test between injectors to see they all flow closely thus detect faults but does require specialist tools .You could also use stethoscope to try and detect the injectors clicking all the same and logically correct when cranked .

PROBLEM SOLVED managed to get some second hand 440 injectors fitted them allowed the fuel to evaporate first and changed oil and fuel filter and all seems well now. Starts and runs smoothly after the fuel system squeezed out all the built-up air because it was idling rough at first.
