    How can I chek if my injectors are leaking (while they are on car)?

    I had injectors cleaned two months ago, and it is happening that when

    car has been sitting for a while (hour or 2 hours) it starts immediately

    at first crank but takes awhile to (3 seconds) to achieve normal idle

    RPMs, and then it turns off the oil lamp and from that moment on

    everything functions great. When car is sitting overnight it starts ok,

    as well as when it is beeing started immediately or a few minutes after

    beeing driven. Do you think the injectors are the problem?

    Nope, if your injectors were bleeding off, it would be much harder to start
    the longer the car has been sitting. So it would be harder to start over
    night.

    But I thought that when standing overnight pressure drops in fuel lines
    and fuel evaporates or leaks out of cylinders? Is that possible?

    Yeah, that is possible, but if the system is working properly, when you turn
    the key on, if you wait for the check engine light to go off, you should
    have enough pressure to start and run without any problems. If not then you
    either have a supply problem, a restriction, or possibly some form of leak
    somewhere.
