I will like to know if the fuel injectors are the problem with my 1995 cadi. I replaced the fuel pression regulater and that wasnt it. I changed the oil and if was full of gasoline. I dont know exactly if the fuel injectors are the problem. I also changed the starter and I notice that the old starter was broken I dont know if that caused all the problem.

Is this a 4.9L or 4.6 Northstar, and does the engine not start? The injectors would have to be stuck at 100% on to dump all the fuel in the crankcase, and this would only happen it short bursts unless it was cranked extensively. If you were to put a fuel pressure gauge on the port, and watch the pressure as it is built, does it just fall back off to zero within seconds? This would be one indication of possibly injectors leaking down, but by no means a confirmation of that. Give the symptoms of what the vehicle does or does not do. To answer your primary question, the injectors can be checked with an injector test light at an injector connector, or they can be checked with a low impedence powered test light. You can check power with a meter on the pink wires of each injector, the ecm triggers individual grounds for each injector.
