Injector testing I have Holley 120 injectors, recently a problem came up where my tune changed, more on startup and restart-it feels like a carb that's flooding, you have to floor it to clean it out-I beat my head against the wall messing with the tune, now I am suspecting maybe an injector-my sons truck bent a rod when one stayed open, so I am a little gun shy now, lol
Anyway, how would you test the injectors-the gauge is in the fuel rails, but it leaks down, prob thru the filter or return
The car seems fine driving, builds boost, maintains AFR's as set

Well I tried to test, kind of a dumb move, lol
I go thru one fuel rail, cross over to the other, then out to the reg and return.
I disc the line to the reg, plugged it, fig. I would turn on the pump, hit the fuel cutoff back by the tank, then kill the pump-well, I wasn't thinking about fuel pres.
so of course w/o the reg in the system, it pegged the 100 psi gauge, so the injectors got full pressure-I watched the pressure drop slowly, not sure why, fig it was thru the injectors, but maybe not-anyway, I hooked it all back up, spun the engine over by hand incase a cyl filled, then fired it up-fired right up w/o touching the throttle, warmed up and did a couple restarts, all seems normal-if I had a leaky inj. I think for sure with over 100 psi sitting on them it would have started rich-maybe it just needed tweaking
