When it occurs they often act like they are seized, the liquid fuel is essentially a solid and they act as though locked, hence the name. Have the shop remove the spark plugs, disable the ignition to prevent a fire, then crank the engine to expel any fuel in the cylinders before reinstalling and attempting to start. With luck by observing which cylinders have liquid fuel when cranking with plugs removed you can isolate the offending injector if that is the root cause. It will be tougher if the fuel was drawn into the intake through the vacuum line to the pressure regulator. You want to avoid starting with fuel in a cylinder at all cost, that is far more likely to cause damage than cranking with the starter. |
