leaky FI's?
Since everybody is doing it, I decided to pull my plugs just now to look
for gasoline that shouldn't be there...
(symptoms - long crank when half warm, running a bit rough, nothing too
bad)
the #2 plug was gunked up a bit, and wet. So I cleaned it off real
quick.
pulled the #2 injector (glad it wasn't #5) and swapped in the best of
four I had lying around, with a new seal and seat for good measure (I
changed all the seals not long ago anyway). noticed what looked like a
little paint damage to the cam cover in that vicinity, general slightly
wet look there and around the #2 plug area too.
car still runs... reset the mixture (without doing the fancy stuff,
just did it quick) and the engine seems to want to run better around 50%
than it was.
We'll know more in a few days I guess.
