i dont understand why engine after hot will not restart unless i releive fuel pressure. pressure on rail is with in specks running or key off. but the 3rd injector leaks fuel past oring causing it to push fuel out of top of seal area. what is the deal here

Its on specs-did you do this test with and w/o the pressure regulator.

Recheck the pressure and fix the leaking injector O-ring and give us the readings-
