If you take off the fuel rail with the injectors still in it and turn on the key, it willleak alright,all 4 injectors are gonna fly across the room because theres nothing to hold them in place, so lets not try that one, good luck.

ehh, no. i've done this before and so have many other people, 40psi isn't enough pressure to dislodge them while KOEO

RE: Need help diagnosing an on going problem

just spoke to my mechanic, he said he is going to pressure test the cylinders....is this a valid way to check for a blown head gasket?

RE: Need help diagnosing an on going problem

well the white smoke went away now, must have been alot of condensation or something....my coolant and oil is fine....the mechanic said me having to add a quart of oil is fine since its been about a 1.5 month since i changed it.....i checked hte injectors and only one was spraying right....the others are all clogged and just dripping so this is def. the cause of my horrible gas mileage.....im giving fuel injector cleaner a shot to see if that works....otherwise how much would new injectors cost?
