I am coming from Howard Beach, Street is coming from Jersey and soemone else is coming from Newburg NY; so the way I see it you have a pretty short trip.
Almost forgot... Inspection stickers are easy to get. Even running bad these cars are pretty clean on emissions.... (Unless you are missing your cat and stuff)

Turns out the O-Ring around the injector was torn.

Heading down to Riverhead in a couple hours. Will be there w/out car saturday night!!! | How do you know it's a hairline crack in the throttle body? How exactly did that happen, did you go at it with a hammer or something lol? Do you know exactly where it's leaking, because it's more than likely coming from the fuel pressure regulator. Fuel enters into the regulator, is regulated based on spring rate, then the applied rate enters into the injectors, with the difference going back in the return to the tank....
The injectors squirt fuel into the barrels, and is then literally sucked into the combustion chambers. For FUEL to be leaking out from the casting itself, would mean you have a crack in one of the BARRELS, because unlike a carb, fuel never sees the inside of the casting. It goes to the regulator, to the injectors, then squirts down into the intake plenum. Your leak is more than likely coming from the regulator itself. Check the inlet and outlet fittings, and make sure your using teflon tape, then check the regulator itself, and make sure it's gasket (not the throttle body), the regulators gasket isn't leaking....
A five minute fix is GUARANTEED, once I was to get there, of course....

The leak is from your regulator, either the fuel line fittings, or it's gasket....  |
