check all hoses on load mode. Load mode is when you preload the hoses on "ON" position on your ignition key. You will hear a 2 sec buzz from the fual pump. The lines are preloading for starting. This is the time you check the lines to see if your rubber hoses are still intact. Obviously someone has to turn the key for you. The notorious hoses are the ones coming form the fuel pump and from the tank (by differential).

Is there any difference between load mode and engine running. I have been under there many times with engine running.

If you put the ignition key on "ON"- right before you start it, That is the loadmode, Pressure in the hoses are in the highest. When you start the car, injectores start letting the fuel in the chamber, the pressure equalizes.

My sister in law's car had the same issue. It wouldn't leak when the engine is running- but when you put it on Load mode, you see a small squirt of fuel comming out from a pinhole. As soon as you start the engine, it quits. Worth the try. Good luck

Sounds hard to belive but I will give it a look.

John Roncallo

I know-- but if it is intact, then one less thing to replace, right? Good luck
