hey all.. well.. thanks for the advice on the injector cleaning... I got it
done by a pro, ultrasonically with a backflush, new filters, the whole bit.
The car seems to run better, but hard to tell.. the idle still isn't what it
should be.  Now, Listen up everyone : :)

The motor is from a 97 GTP... after having the injectors cleaned.... I have
a problem with starting after it sits for about 30 mins.  I suspected
leaking.. so I took it all apart.. and found that when pressurized on the
rail and sitting there, after about 15 - 30 mins.. the injectors do leak a
tad. about a drop each.  They are Motek injectors.. with the little
clyindrical shape at the tip. That little cylinder basically fills up over
that time period... just not enough to drip out.  When I start it after it
sits for 30 mins... it needs about 2 seconds of crank to catch.. and I get a
puff of black smoke. I never had this before the cleaning. The guy didn't
think that the cleaning could cause this.. but he put them through six
cycles again anyways just incase.. complete backflush, and changed the
filters again.  Still does it.. any ideas? is any leakage going to cause
this?? he said one drop per minute is allowed by the manufacturers.. and
that this small amount of gas wont effect start up at all.. but I am still
not sure.

Please Respond:))
Cheers
