dont pull the whole valve off, just the banjo bolt at the top. . .you can do this cold. if you have fuel come from the tube or seep out while running then it is bad.

have ya loosened up the fuel supply lines to the injectors while idling in gear?

set the P brake. start the engine. place it in drive or have a helper drop it in 1st. turn on the a/c full.

now slowly break the fuel lines loose at the injectors. there should be a fine hard spray of fuel. tighten it. go through them all. the one or ones that are weaker will be the probs. it may take a few times to figure it out. also look for idle change. if the loss of fuel does not change idle, that is a hum dinger of a clue.

good luck....

Thanks. Well Drew if i'm not mistaken you want the engine to be running after the banjo bolt is removed or loosened?

Also baja fun, what would be wrong if I did find weaker injector lines? And I can't idle in gear also. My trucks a stick, if it was idling in gear it'd either be not running or going down the road or into something.... I don't really want to sit over the engine with it moving either.... would be interesting though. For someone else.
