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
