Mostly that's when it happens. Your car might start a bit more slowly than it should in that case because the fuel rail has to be repressurized since the fuel has all leaked out through leaky injectors.

What causes gas in the oil on a 350 engine?

If it runs fairly normal once it starts and you're getting fuel into the crankcase, it's PROBABLY a leaking injector. After the engine is shut off there is still pressure in the fuel line. If the injector leaks, fuel will drip down into the intake manifold. If a cylinder has an open intake valve, the fuel will leak into there and find it's way into the crankcase.

What causes your 83 Chevy caprice to shut off while running the air conditioner or heater?

Check for a main vacuum leak. Do you feel a loss of power at idle? The A/C and defrost (which uses the A/C) require power from the engine. If it can handle the accessories (A/C, Defrost) it will shut off. Also the power steering strains the engine, does it shut off when you turn the wheel all the way? If so check for a vacuum leak. If the engine is idling rough, get it fixed.

I undo the diesel filter and fill with diesel to the top, and refit, Then slacken off the fuel injector supply pipes on the injector end, Crank over engine until fuel appears to leak down injector connection, tighten injector fuel connections and then continue to crank over engine. Should then start to fire up. Keep cranking till engine running on its own.
