Possibly hard starting in my situation, also have seen smoke and oil consumption in other situations.
Replacing them isn't to bad except I had to remove the solenoid and a rocker on mine to get the back passenger side injector out. There is a write up floating around I'll see if I can find it. I have to finish up replacing mine tomorrow evening as 430 comes early in the morning.
I will say it was a whole lot easier to do with the engine on a stand. And make sure to use Motorcraft/ Alliant brand o rings. Here is why:
These are Victor Rienz brand with 3000 miles on them. The reason I'm finishing changing mine now.
Also do GP's while your there. Well worth the 80 bucks to do while the valve covers off.

I guess I will be placing an order pretty soon... What's the time frame of replacing the injector orings?

Mototcraft is the only thing I'd run. Someone put an off brand in my idi and every one of them was swollen. They aren't much more or even the same as aftermarket. Clay can set you up for about 160 bucks with shipping for the rings and gp's. Just ordered the same thing.

I am dreading pulling the covers to see what the PO put in there. He was not very up on PS maintenance. All of his work was done at a local shop and he didn't keep any receipts of the work that was done. I'm hoping that the GPR is only bad, but who knows...
Good luck with the swap and Clay is awesome too.
