Thumbs up Fuel Injector problems?

1996 Land Rover Discovery

Truck starts up, idle drops to normal (around 750-800rpm) then cuts out and all power to the engine stops. Truck restarts, idle drops to normal, then drops much lower (below 500rpm) then holds. Sometimes if I rev the engine it will catch it, and the truck will start, then resume regular idle. If it has to restart a few times, I have continuous problems.

I'd like to know if this is a fuel injector gone bad or maybe multiple? I bought the truck with the No.7 injector staying open and flooding the engine if the car isn't completely turned off after being driven.

Can anybody give me some advice? My first post and Land Rover. Thanks for the help.

The injector will leak even with the key out of the ignition because there is pressure in the fuel line.
You need to fix that before anything else.
