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.

Thanks,

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,
