Thanks, well aware of glow and other system operation, compression effects, etc.

Here I am merely trying to put 2+2 together wrt an injector leaking INTO the engine. We were not talking about external leaks.

My comment on it not always catching is a separate issue, call it irrelevant for now, it was not part of my conversation with my mechanic.

If I can determine somehow what injector may be leaking, Ill be that much smarter. FWIW, no black smoke at startup, and always a smooth idle on the CD. He characterized some tapping, which I couldnt really hear or isolate, as a sign of a leaking injector.
