Fuel injection

Good morning,

I would remove the fuel rail completely and change the o-rings. The o-rings that need to be replaced are where the injectors meet the rail, not at the intake manifold. Fuel will not leak from there.

I attached pictures and the one where I circled the o-rings is the ones you need to replace.

Roy

I did that. I got all new ones and they are squirting out everywhere all over the bottom part of the manifold.

But yeah, it leaks from the top where you circle it.

Okay, that is what I thought.

You need to remove the fuel rail from the car and do this on a bench. You remove the clip that is shown in the picture and the injector will come out.

When installing the new o-ring, use Vaseline to lubricate the o-ring so it does not get damaged when you push it up and in. Then reinstall the clip to hold it.

Roy

Do you think the clips are damage that's why it's leaking?

No, I think you may have damaged the o-rings if you did not lube them and make sure they were seated.

Roy

Okay yup. because I didn't lube them but there not cracked or broken.

Do you have it apart right now?

Roy

Yes, but I haven't unbolted the fuel rail and taken off the injectors.

Because there's nothing much more I can do everything is in tacked.

Okay, so you do not have it apart. Remove the rail and get a new set of o rings and let me know what you see.

If you can, upload some pictures of what you see.

Roy

Okay, will do.

Thank you.

Roy

Okay, same thing happened except I didn't even make it out to the drive way.

Pictures as I asked for please.

Roy

And I had to change my fuel rail. the guy that was working on it damaged one of the inserts where the fuel injector goes was pulling out the o-ring.

Okay, did that resolve the issue?

Roy

Did you respond? I got an email but nothing came through.

Roy

Yes it stopped leaking but my engine light came back on. I forgot to plug in my temperature gauge and I plugged it in and it turned off and now a couple miles after that it came on again.

And I'm not sure what this is if it needs to be connected or not.

Okay, what is the code that was set?

Roy

I have to get it checked on my way to check it out now. I'll let you know.

No problem.

Keep me updated.

Roy
