Welcome to NICO!!!

Are you having this problem after long drives or short ones?

If its from short ones, its a fairly common problem. The only way to alleviate it is by warming up the J fully and then driving it. The engine design on the J30 is not engineered for short hop driving. What's happening is the engine is flooding from stop and go driving.

thanks for the info... i can drive the car for about 25 miles then turn it off and an hour later try to start it up again and its flooded... i thought maybe FPR but i checked fuel press and its all good. the check engine light is not on either... dont know what it could be.

r injectors common to leak on those?? maby it sets and becomes flodded by all the presure in rail seaping past the inectors. check ur fuel pressure while running then shut off the car and leave the presure gauge connect for a while note to see if the pressure drops after a bit of time. thats just a thought to look at, im not too sure if the pump will release pressure back through itself when not running. but i know that the rest of the fuel system should be able to hold the pressure.good luck

good thought... fuel press is good... dont know what it is.

Time for all new injector o-rings.

I'd recommend pulling all 6 injectors, send them to Deatschwerks for a rebuild / flow-bench treatment, and reinstall.

Are they local boys? Do you know how much for flow benching?
