    It may possibly be chucking too much fuel in, or there could be an air leak so fuel's not getting to the injectors straight away.

    The best way to test for leaky injectors is hookup a pressure guage to the shrader valve. If after about 20 minutes or so, your pressure has dropped dramatically, then 99% sure you have leaky injector/injectors

    Ive had a fuel leak before when using the old O rings, How about pulling the injection out from the mani, the put a little piece of paper under them, turn the key to prime the rail (DO NOT START) and then see if there's fuel on any of the paper?

    I think we've all said that at one time or another, then, it starts running right, so we fiddle again.

    The car will run fine with a leaky injector, Yes id replac the O rings as a matter of course, top and bottom o ring's, carful with the plastic pintle's as these can be fragile.

    If it starts ok with the old injectors but not with the new ones then summit is up with the replacment ones.

    That will be a injector/s leaking two possible causes they could have been damaged when being cleaned and no able to hold pressure or the seals are shot also try a smear of oil on the o rings before you fit them.
    Also if your fed up of it cranking for a few seconds when going to start the car leave the ignition on red and let the pressure build back up for a few seconds then go to crank
