5.7 merc tbi issue... Noticed that at lower rpm, one injector has very distinct uniform cone pattern- other seems to be pouring excessive fuel in a stream. Engine runs quite rich at low-mid rpm range and can be troublesome on warm starts. Also, after shutdown, some fuel drips for several minutes from what I believe is the overflow (small diameter brass? tube that directs into throttle body)- probably not supposed to happen? Just to clarify- I've done basic tune up (plugs, cap, rotor, wires, fuel filter) with no effect on this issue. I simply want to be sure that both injectors should operate identically to one another- both with distinct cone pattern of very fine fuel droplets and is the dripping after shutdown normal? Also, where should my course of action begin? What is most likely culprit, and thus, remedy? Maybe fuel pressure issue or leaking gasket, or similar? Injectors look to be EXPENSIVE! Any options if that is the likely culprit? Thank you all so much in advance!
