Hey, I also have the problem after changing my injectors. I believe it's either air leak or fuel leak.
YouTube - 2L-TE LJ78 startup issue
I am going to try the clear pvc hose and see if there is some air.
Doesn't the return hose get the air out of the system?
thanks, Tom.
one way or the other, it looks like you're not getting enough fuel. what do you mean, exactly, by "changing the injectors"? did you have them rebuilt? if so, were they rebuilt with the same # nozzle? did you bleed each individual injector on startup?
the return hose is for returning excess fuel which is not burned, but is extra for lubricating the injector pump.
