Well, I let the car sit for 2 days. Didn't do anything else, other than check for spark and pull the connections to the coil and put them back on. Today, I put the plugs back in and it fired up on the first crank. I still suspect leaking injector(s). I think the first time I pulled the plugs, I just didn't let the cylinders dry out enough. I'll have to look at the Bentley and see if there's a way to test them. If I find one or more is leaking, are they reparable, or will I have to bite the bullet and get new ones?
