So, I hooked up my brand new HF fuel pressure gauge (thanks for the tip at $19).
Sure enough, starts, runs fine for a minute, starts missing, fuel pressure drops, engine dies as pressure gets under 20lbs. Wait a minute, engine starts back up, repeat cycle.

All of a sudden, I see a spray of fuel coming from injector #1. Can't really tell if it is coming from the short hose from fuel rail to injector or the injector seal. I assume that I caused this problem while moving the fuel rail around when hooking up the pressure gauge to the test port. The only way to make it leak is to put everything back, but then there is too much stuff in the way to see where it is leaking.

The injectors have been replaced by me in the past, but it has been over 15 years. Should I just bite the bullet and replace all 4? Can I get mine rebuilt (do they replace the hoses?) I found injectors reman'd by Standard Motor Products for $35.79 ea on Rockauto - are these any good, or junk?

Thanks

To me, those are closer to a green than a blue (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

very interesting. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

i got the box down with the injectors i removed last year, they date from 89 when i installed them after buying the car.
two of them are blue and two are green.
i see one on right as a shade of green.
the ones now in the car are like the one on left - which i see as a shade of blue.
