A buddy of mine has a 1995 6 cylinder Chevy Blazer with 73,000 miles.
Lately he has been noticing a hard start problem first thing in the morning.
When he get's it cranked, white smoke plumes out. A little rough running at
first, but once warmed up it runs fine. He took it to the dealer this
morning and they told him that fuel is leaking into the cylinders due to a
bad central port injector (or something like this). I gather that this
thing controls fuel flow to the fuel injectors. The said that they have to
take the intake off and it would be $1,200 to fix. They say that failure to
fix it will lead to further deterioration and carbon buildup, and possible
problems with the catalinic converter and passing emmision inspections.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? Are there any other repair options?
Thanks for your help.
