You need to see if the injectors are leaking after they have stopped squirting. This is when they leak! So crank the van over and watch them squirt. Then after you shut off the key see if they are still dripping or if they shut off.

hello, I checked the fuel pressure regulator by running the engine for a while revving it up to 3500-4000rpm shut it off and then pulling off the vacuum hose and smelling it....not wet and did not smell like gas....so I think it is ok. I removed the injectors from the intake and turned key to on position and did not find and leaks. I changed my oil...just had it changed a week ago dammit....and put on a new filter, and everything seems to be running ok...took it for a test drive about 10miles on the highway. I am guessing that an injector could have stuck open temporarily, or is leaking intermittently.....I dont know. thanks for comments, Ry Blaisdell 1990 vanagon Texas |
