I would run the Jeep just long enough to make sure the pressure is full. Not even 30 seconds. Shut it off! (Don't do this with the Jeep running!!!) Then immediately disconnect the fuel rail leaving the fuel line(s) and all injectors and clips attached. If one is leaking you'll see it right away from all the pressure still built up behind it. One of the sure signs of an injector continuing to leak is you need to crank it awhile before it starts

i had the fuel pump replaced a year ago because of slow starts.and it did not fix the problem it was worse in the hot weather.i called the machanic back about 3 months later to see what brand they used.of course airtech (i think thats what it was called) the one everybody saus is crap.but i just thought it was a heat soak problem.ive tried everything .hood vents wrapping the injectors and rail with exhaust tape efan timer all with little luck.if its not the injectors im wondering if my precats are clogged keeping heat in the engine bay evaporating the gas.but the pressure wouldnt leak down like that if it was that.probably need Bosch fuel pump or injectors well see.

How do you pull the fuel injectors...can't remember?
Do you have to pull the rail and all? Posts here might help everyone.
Got one leaking and was told eariler that I should replace the injectors with an up-grade one, but this is all I have...
Neon 703 or 784.
Tried to find other posts, but no luck.
Thanks!~John

Have you tried this yourself?

What's the difference between the 784s and the stock fuel injectors?
Who makes them and about how much do they cost?
I bought a fuel injector rebuild kit and some cleaner, but never used it because mine quit leaking on it's own and this was right after I had pulled all the injectors to replace a broken exhaust manifold.
Thanks!~John
