Car floods a lot... leaking injectors?

My car already flooded 5 times the past 2 weeks. I believe thats cause I got leaking injectors. Am I right?

How far down do u have to go into the engine to remove the injectors? Do u have to remove the lower intake manifold or just the upper one?

Or should I just install a fuel cut switch?

thanks!

The primary fuel rail is accesed by removing the upper intake manifold.

it will take about 15-30 minutes to get to the primary fuel rail. you can see it under the upper intake arch, but you cant quiet get to it

have you checked your compression? frequent flooding is usually a sign of dropping compression numbers. if it were me, i'd just put a fuel cut switch in 'til i got enough money to send my injectors to get cleaned

but yeah, it shouldn't take long to get to the primary fuel rail, its just kinda a bitch. and watch out for the coolant hose that goes from the top of the block to the bottom of the upper intake (like where the throttle plates are)

do a compression test as well just to be sure your engine isnt causing this all-of-the-sudden flooding.
