I have had this problem for 4 years, since I first purchased the car used. Today, I finally took it to my mechanic and they insisted all 4 of my fuel injectors are leaking and need to be replaced. Yet, I would like a second opinion and keep finding sites online that insist this problem has to do with spring clamps used that malfunction when it's cold. Any suggestions?

Hi:
I agree that you should have a second opinion too. However, it isn't uncommon for the injectors to leak.

You should check your gas line from the gas regulator and others around. I had that problem and I found out the fuel lines were dry rotted and craked.
