Default Almost Finished... a few questions

Hey guys! I got the old sensors out and im waiting to install a new bracket on monday. I noticed a few things that i need help with.

First- The Engine sounds somewhat different, not in a bad way, but it just sounds like its making a different pitched cranking noise (could be a vaccum line installed wrong)

Second- I heard somewhere that you can actually see if the engine will start if you run a pulse light, or a metal object back and forth in front of the sensors. Is this true? I tried with a wrench and nothing happened.

Third- I have a bitchin fuel leak! Fuel came flying out of the injector for cylinder number 1. It is the little rubber washer thing that plugs into the fuel rail. Is there an easy fix for this?

Ok well that is all. Cya guys later thanks for all the help!

replace them all- IIRC i spent 15$ for the entire set of 4, hats and all o-rings. (from Bill Wenger, Ill PCA Toolmeister)
The leftover parts I had I gave to Danny.. You need the top or bottom o-ring on the injector? time to inspect them all.

I inspected them all when i was putting them back in. 3 of them were fine. I ordered some injector seal kits off pelican. 2 of them had different colored caps like theyved already been replaced before.

Yes, the rubber O-ring is the problem on just one.
