Thanks for the input.

The door locks work fine when the engine's running, but a few minutes after you shut it off then they don't. Or at least didn't before the engine was changed. I haven't had any passengers since to notice if the locks come up when I open the driver's door or if they wait to come up until I start the engine.

I think there's a little vac leak at a place where the mechanic patched two small vacuum lines of some sort into a bigger line, apparently by punching little holes in the big line and then pasting or rubber-sealer-ing the little lines so they'd stay in place. ... I can pull one of them right out and stick it back in, so if it's that easily dislodged it might be leaking around the hole.

As for the injector leaks, I did replace the fuel return hose and unless it's leaking right around the neck of each hose then the leak is elsewhere. Before, the hoses were dry-rotted and cracked from end to end, and the fuel was seeping through the braided cloth all down the length of every hose. ... Now I just have pooled diesel fuel around each glow plug after the car has been started and run for awhile.

I will try removing each line and oiling it a bit and putting it back on to see if that helps.

Again, thanks!
