Default Leaking Injectors

I bit the bullet and had a mech check out my hard starting! ALL of the injectors were leaking! this caused the car to be flooded every time I started it. Now it runs like a fine tuned machine its awsome! Mech said from not running it for so many years he thinks thats why I had problems with them. I just got the car 5 weeks ago, so i never had run it with all this power! WOW it fly's now. I think I will send old injectors out to get cleaned though then I'll have backup.

How did the car idle when you had the old injectors installed in the car?

Good deal, have you tossed the "frisbee" from the water pump pulley yet?

If the old ones are the silver/grey Multec's do yourself a favor and irresponsibly chuck them as far as the eye can see. Rich from Kruzen won't touch them even. Other then that, congradulations..

Rich will clean & leak check his '88 injectors, including the cold start.

I recently installed my cleaned injectors back from Rich.
