Yup.  Leaking injector, maybe?  It's not too tough to unbolt the fuel rail
and lift it enough to check.  (Don't start the engine, just turn it to the
"on" position so the pump runs and pressurizes the lines.)

The correct timing mode makes a world of difference -- I finally got a "DIY
Consult" (laptop PC with homebrew interface and software) and adjusting the
idle speed and timing is SOO much easier, and produces better results.
