Fuel injector leak question

What I think is that you are driving a fire bomb waiting to go off.

Fuel injector seal kits with 2 O rings and a pintle cap (Borg-Warner P/N 274081) are available at Pep Boys auto parts. Cost is about $2.74 per kit.. The following are listed at the Borg-Warner site ( http://www.borg-warner.com ) as being resellers of Borg-Warner parts:

Most of the links above have store locators for find a store in your area.

Use motor oil on the O rings when you re-assemble them & everything will slide into place. The gasoline will wash away any excess oil that gets in the wrong places and it will burn up in the combustion chamber.

The pintle caps fit either injectors with a pin sticking out the injector end or 4 with more tiny holes in the injector end
The pintle caps hold the O ring in place and keep it from sliding off and into the manifold. If the correct pintle caps are used, they do not have any effect on the injector spray pattern.


Heating the pintle caps in boiling water makes it much easier to install them.

Pull the rails, replace the caps and o-rings on ALL of your injectors. Use a very thin layer of dielectric grease on the new o-rings prior to installation.

Kits available at most of the larger parts stores. They're a couple bucks a piece.

I'd bet that someone will even come through with a part number before too long.


Damn.... that's twice Jr beat me to the draw. LOL I must be getting old.

DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL YOU FIX IT!!!! Don't even start it.

Refer to this thread for why it's an extremely bad idea to do so without fixing it first.
