So I got all the fuel lines replaced and it's been running splendidly, decided to take it to work today. Just a minute away from work it would die at idle after the 30minute fwy run, but I got it re-started and got to work just keeping the throttle open a bit when stopped.
I had to run an errand and started to get onto the freeway again and lost all power. Pulled over, opened the decklid and much to my dismay one of the fuel lines had popped off the right side fuel rail. I attached and tightened all the lines/clamps outside the car so it wasn't loose but it's back on and nice and tight again.
Tried to start it and nothing, cycle the pump a few times and crank. Nothing. It tried to start a few times but wouldn't run. Got it towed back to work and I've checked a few things when I've had time.
There is fuel in the lines still, but I don't seem to be getting anything from the injectors. At least on the driver side where I pulled them out of the manifold.
I did play with the connector on the distributor and it seems to be well seated, as do the connections on the injectors.
I can't imagine that all four injectors would get clogged at the exact same time either, just seems a bit implausible.

I don't see how losing fuel pressure would then keep the injectors from firing but anyone have any ideas?
