Hey Guys...another Fun Filled Question... I Replaced All 4 Injectors In My Talon Tsi Awd And Now When I Go To Start It, Warm Or Cold, It Cranks Like 10 To 15 Times Beofre It Finally Starts. PROBLEM Didnt Start Till I Replaced The Injectors. A Side Note When It Does Finally Start... I Get A White Puff Of Smoke Out The Exhaust And Smell Gas?? Any Ideas??
I Replaced The Spark Plugs Maybe A Week Before The Injectors.
Plug Wires Age Less Than A Year Old And No Codes From The Ecu.
 
Do you have a way to measure fuel pressure? I suspect that your fuel pressure is either bleeding back through the fuel pump or leaking past the regulator. Try unhooking the vacuum line to the regulator when it's running, if any gas comes out of there you know it's bad.
 
I Knew As Soon As I Posted Something It Wouldnt Act Up. Went Out And It Fired After 2 Cranks Like It Should. Will Try That As Soon As I Get A Chance...thanks For Your Help.
