Leaky Injector?
For quite some time I have been experiencing a symptom with my car. Through using the search function I think I have determined it is a leaky injector. The purpose of this post is to confirm it and ask what you think it may cost to fix. I am actually having a shop install headers and do a tune for me next week so I figure I will ask them to look into it.
The symptoms are that if I drive my car, then say stop at a store or something and let it sit for a while, it will take an extended period of time to turn over and start. It does not do this every time, but it is happening more often. I replaced the battery hoping that was it but no change. It starts up great cold in the morning every time. If I drive it, then turn it off, and then immediately turn it back on it starts fine.
Thanks for the help.

I have not noticed any smoke when it cranks for an extended time. I have noticed a sharp decline in MPG, but that could also be due in part to crappy O2's. I have a little over a quarter tank left after filling up and I have only gone 140 miles. Car has close to no mods... ORY, ram air mod
