so i took my upper intake manifold off to get to a fitting or two i had to tighten down that was starting to leak a tad bit of coolant......in the process i think i may have bumped the fuel rail....and now the one fuel injector where it meets the fuel rail is spraying gas everywhere.....help? please?

First turn the pressure from your fuel tank off.
Disconnect the injector, and take it out, and inspect it for any damage, and inspect your fuel rail for any damage.

Re-install the injector. Hopefully it was just knocked loose a bit, and that can fix that. Try that to start off. Also remember to get pressure from your fuel back too.

If that doesn't work come back to us, but start off small.

If the above doesn't work, try replacing the o-ring that seals the injector into the rail. Use some oil on the o-ring to lubricate it.

put it in IMG code.

we can't see a pic

[HMUSN]

that shouldn't affect the seal at all.

[lwhitetrash88l]

so what do you suggest i do? just reseat it in there and make sure its sitting in there straight? and give it another go? or what do you suggest?

[HMUSN]

i would try and re seat it.

you'll know it's in when you feel the pop.

it's hard to explain...lol... but you'll know what i mean when you do it

I would replace the metal clip since you said it seemed to sit in there crooked. Also you might replace the o-ring and check for any damage to the fuel rail, such as a scratch in the area where the o-ring seals. If it was spraying fuel I would say it just wasn't in there square and replacing the metal clip would help to align it better.

but you cant buy just the metal clip you have to buy a whole new injector

if it doesn't work for you I have 8 spare injectors .. I could just sent you one of them for free.

minus shipping of course :wink

which is probably like $3.00

You might get the clip off a wrecking yard car, or perhaps it will still seat OK without it.

I guess try putting it back in and see what happens.

[lwhitetrash88l]

yeah it wont sit right without that damn clip for some reason.....

[lwhitetrash88l]

ah man that would be awesome if you could send me one of those bro! wonder how much it is to overnight it....? lol

[lwhitetrash88l]

how much will it be to ship to me.....im in florida....and how would i go about paying you the shipping fees?

[HMUSN]

Let me find the injetors first man...lol



I'm not sure how much it will run but I am sure 1 injector can't be that much.

you could paypal me of just cut me a money order if anything

[lwhitetrash88l]

yeah i have a paypal account....that can work. could you take a look and see if you have those injectors bro? in florida the cheapest i can find them is like 35 bucks and right now i shit for money....so i cant do that. if you could find them for me that would be awesome man!

[HMUSN]
