Default Fuel Injectors?


The abnormally high idle you state is not the result of a leaky injector
causing the engine to burn off the excess fuel leaked into the engine.
The engine would burn all that fuel at start-up, and possibly give you
a long-start at start-up. [basically, flooded]. Also, an injector with
a worn or open pintle will bleed pressure out of the immediate fuel
line. Again, a delay in start-up.

A leaky injector won't spray as well as needed, and the resulting high
idle is PCM compensation. As stated above, a fuel-pressure check of the
injectors is a good place to start. Caveat> usually best left to pay a
shop for the test.
