[Shotimes] lost MPG due to fuel pump?

[Steve Tatro]

If you have leaky injectors there would already be a little fuel to
start the car, even if you've cut off the injectors by holding down the
gas pedal.  It's supposedly designed like this to aide a flooded car in
starting.

Both my '90 and my current '93 ATX have done this.

Uh, if the injectors are shut off, meaning no fuel, how can the car
start??

Mine is definitely NOT flooded when I do this, it has some other funky
problem.

Actually, I think it does.  The owners manual even tells you that if you
flood it, to hold your foot to the floor to get it started.
