Default starts instantly now

when cold or after sitting for a few hrs my car would crank for 30 secs then start and sometimes puffed a cloud out.
i suspected a leaking injector so i checked the pressure.
key on was 40-42 and held for an easy 15 minutes,would still have 20 lbs after 2 hrs.
hmm,seemed probly ok but then ,maybe not.
i pressure fed a can of napa injection cleaner through it with a napa injector cleaning kit.
i think i shouldve plugged the return line to the tank on this car cuz the can didnt run the engine for very long (fuel pump fuse out),but now the engine starts before i can get the key released.
love it when something actually works right!
