Does it do it on hot starts or cold starts or both?
If its cold starts only, I'd suspect ignition components. Drench them with
water and note any difference and drench them when the engine is warm, too.
Wetting the ignition components should have zero effect on how it runs. If it
does, there
Of course, we all love this arm chair quarterbacking. Personally, I'm glad

Of course, if it goes away when it warms up or you drive it a block or

If this happens a few minutes after shutting it off, I'd guess a headgasket or
leaky injector. If this happens after the car has been off for a while, I'd
guess the injector. If it were the regulator, the car would usually take some
time to start while it built up pressure again. One thing y
Another option is to take the fuel rail loose with the injectors still
attached to the rail and check for leaks that way. Just make sure you
disconnect the battery while pulling it, and that you reconnect the
ground strap and the ground connection from the harness to ground BEFORE
you hook the
I would check the fuel pressure to test it. Usually the check valve in
the fuel pump will keep the pressure held... If it drop quickly though
after turning the car off, it is either a leaky injector or a bad check
valve.
