Hey guys,

I wanted to keep this thread updated. So I took the injectors for cleaning last weekend and two of them came back as no good, they were leaking and 13 rounds in the ultrasonic bath couldn't get them to stop. So I picked up a new OEM filter and set of FIC 850's from RTM and installed them on Sunday.

Awesome, the car started on the first try Monday-Thursday day and night. Come Friday morning though it took the old 5 or 6 cranks to get the car started and it's been like that since, extremely frustrating.

I had a really tough time this morning trying to get it started, I cranked it about 8 times over 25 minutes and could not get it to run. I tried a squirt of starting fluid in the manifold and 100% throttle while cranking and it caught instantly.

I'm going to be checking the following this weekend and will report back:

- Test AFPR by applying vacuum and shop air to the fitting with
the pump running to confirm it is operating correctly.
- Winding the AFPR all the way in to test if the pump is capable
of producing 75+ psi.
- New AGM battery
- Testing voltage at pump during cranking and performing a re-
wire if I see a large drop.
- Re-checking voltage being delivered to the injectors.
- Setting plug gap back to 0.028" from 0.024".

If anyone has a theory on why the new injectors and filter would fix the hard starting for four days and then stop I would love to hear it.
