Sorry to bring this old topic back up, but with other potential issues to look into, I thought I might as well check this one through too and hit the dealer with everything at once.

Car has been sluggish to start, often taking up to 15 seconds to start in the morning, so I figured I'd check the injectors for leak-back since it sounds like something simple to check for myself.

Can anyone confirm that you just remove the engine cover, then pull the tubing (black - cloth covered) off the injector heads?

I did think at first I'd have to take out the retaining clip and remove the metal section underneath, but the tubing looks to be easier. I have tried to remove one tube, but it seems pretty solidly connected. Perhaps more Weetabix before I try again lol
