Matt - I am personally very skeptical that clogged fuel injectors 
would result in the sudden failure to start that you described.  The 
symptom for the injectors would be a gradual worsening of engine 
performance.  The last time that this happened to with a local car, 
it was the fuel pump wiring terminals with excessicve corrosion.  
The car ran great, right up until the owner filled it up with gas, 
and it wouldn't start after the fillup.  It went home on a flatbed.  
I replaced the fuel pump for him, and that was all that was wrong.  
The wires had basically rotted away under the fuel pump boot.  
Another car suddenly quit running, and we replaced the RPM relay to 
solve the problem.  For your symptoms, I'd look at the fuel pump 
connections, the pump itself, the RPM relay, and the fuel pump 
relay.  Don't forget the obvious choices like a blown fuse, etc.  
Sometimes it is the very basic things that get us, and 
also "professional shops".

one of the six fuel injectors is spraying like it should, and the 
other five are dripping and not functioning right. They were getting 
the parts in this afternoon, and hope to install them tomorrow 
morning. Do you guys think this should solve my problem, or have 
they not come across anything likely to cause it?
