Fuel Issue Resolved 12/31/2008
Beach House could not find the problem, although they did find a boost leak under the intake. The R&R for that was $300. The car barely made it back home though it ran so poorly.
Talked to Jeff Moss and he suggested looking for a leak at the injectors by spraying carb cleaner. With that technique I found #4 injector with a huge leak. Pulled the rail and found that one of the injectors had lost it's clip and dropped too deep into the intake causing a leak. The injector was stuck in the intake and it's nylon washer dropped into the intake/engine when the injector was removed. The repair then required that the intake manifold be removed to retrieve it. Also replaced the injector.
Car was out of service at least seven months this year!
Finally running good again today! In addition I bought a replacement for the old cracked junction box.
