I recently had my 88 STX running poorly, missing and blowing light blue almost white smoke. It stalled at a stop and then started again and I drove a few hundred feet and it started to cut out and belch smoke. Tried to start again and the motor was locked up. I waited a couple of days and tried to start again and it turned over about four times and locked up again. I thought that maybe I had a blown head gasket and had some coolant locking up the motor so I pulled all the plugs. When I pulled number six fluid came out but it was not coolant it was fuel. I am assuming that the injector was stuck open and filling the cylinder with fuel.
I would think that if the pressure regulator was bad that it would have had an issue with more than one cylinder? Should I replace all of the injectors when I pull the fuel rail or just the one that suspect to be the problem?
Can I check the injector while it is out to verify that it is the injector that is bad and not a possible short in the wire?
