Leaky injector diagnosis

[jcc3inc]

Gentlemen,

I think I have a leaking injector ('99 3800 V6) since it starts poorly after sitting for 5 minutes or more when it has been run earlier. It acts like one cyl is flooded and then it finally runs OK. In two cases the "check engine" light has come on. I disconnect the batt for a few minutes and it goes away. It does start well if it has sat overnight.

Now what is a good way to find the leaker? I'm sure someone has gone thru this before! Any comments would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Jack C.

Pull the plugs and look for the one covered in fuel.

Seriously, goold old fashoned mechanics.
