Dear Matthew, While agreeing with Robert and Brian, I'd bet a nickel that the short lines from the fuel rail to the injectors are the problem. Try giving them a little wiggle while the fuel pump is running. Good time to check that the swaged rings holding the caps on the fuel rails aren't rusting out, but when they fail you won't have any doubt where the gas is coming from. Yours, David |
