On a cold start you will have the following fuel added on top of what is required to idle the engine:
Priming pulse
Cold start enrichment
After start enrichment
WOT during cranking will stop firing the injectors to allow a flooded engine to clear.
One set of injectors I had would leak to the point where I would get a bit of a hard-start after it sat overnight. It was a very slight and subtle leak but it was even more fuel added to the list above
-
I had an injector leak that caused the engine to "hydrolock". Pulled the spark plug, cranked it over for a split second, shot fuel across the garage. Fun stuff!

So FedEx put me on part time so I ended up finding a new job. I'm going be driving the PlayStation tour truck from April till end of October across the country to music festivals, air shows, comicon, etc. Should be a fun summer but bummed I'm gonna miss the whole car show season.

That's the schedule with last years dates still thought, hopefully some of you will stop by at summerfest!

if the kids/adults who come to play games at your truck are anything like the ones playing COD and other online games on Playstation, your days should be fairly entertaining with lots of cuss matches, racism, and hacking accusations.

Dear Ireland Engineering: When I want to order a part from you but you don't respond to emails - I'll take my business elsewhere. KTHNKBYE.
I want to order front adjustable endlinks for mine from them. Good to know their customer service is legendary
-
At times folks have had better luck ordering IE parts though other vendors. Interesting business model.
As mentioned in other posts, Gutenparts, Blunttech and others have great service. Bimmerworld came through this week as well for me--order placed on Wednesday showed up this afternoon by regular UPS ground no less. Immediate answers to emails and phone questions. Too easy.
-
Blunttech is where I've ordered all of my stuff so far. Steve is a cool dude & responds to emails at pretty much anytime
-
Blunt doesn't offer adjustable endlinks. So far it's IE or Pelican
IE is like $55 and pelican is $70
I'd rather not go homemade for the sake of crappiness

Kaiser's tech tips are my new favorite Snapchat related items. Sorry random boobs.
