How do I determine which injector(s) are leaking?

Heads, valves, pistons, rods, crankshaft, etc...

How do I determine which injector(s) are leaking?

Post by douglas vincent »

When the vehicle is off?

I am having a weird start up problem, sometimes. Usually it only happens when the car has been sitting 5 to 10 minutes. Anything under and it starts right up, and anything over 1015 minutes the vehicle starts right up. usually.

I crank, and it just cranks, cranks cranks. I have to keep the throttle completly open until it fires and cleans out all the fuel. You can see and smell the gas in the exhaust.

Any ideas?

pull the rail with the injectors on there, put small jars under them and let the car sit. maybe look at the plugs too.

Are you getting any check engine lights? My roo had similar symptoms and it turned out to be a coolant temp sensor. Make sure your light's not burned out too. I just had a buddy pull his hair out with his F-Bird until I noticed the CEL was out. Hope that helps.
