Ya, that wasn't cool... It would of been HOT..LOLOL
How bout the injectors, any advice?
Thanks
Ya, that wasn't cool... It would of been HOT..LOLOLGreat! That old fuel line seemed like a fire just waiting to happen!
Lol, I will look. I'm pulling my lower off now.Try ebay. Search for injector pintle caps for explorer injectors.
Ok thanks,Its a super popular swap,
Thanks, that's good info. I actually just orderd a set of flow matched 4 hole injectors. Who knows if one of my old injectors are sticky or plugged. The seals and hoods are in bad shape. I'll send my old injectors out for cleaning and I'll have spairs.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 $3-$4 per kit.. The following are listed at the Borg-Warner site ( BWD - Home ) as being resellers of Borg-Warner parts:
Parts Plus – Premium Auto Parts & Accessories or Auto Value or Pep Boys | Auto Parts Stores | Car Repair & Maintenance or Federated Auto 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 or engine performance.
Heating the pintle caps in boiling water makes it much easier to install them.
Thanks, I'm getting there. I can't wait to drive it on the next nice day, as long as all this hard work pays off, lololol...Good job! Almost ready to drive it again!
I'm lost on that on, Can you explain . I didn't mess with the o2 sensors that I know of..lolDid you ground the orange 02 ground?
Ok, ground it from the harness where the o2 plugs in ?, and what wire is to be grounded the orange in guessing?You should have 3 wire 02 sensors. But if you have 4 wire 02 sensors, you will need to ground the additional wire.
Ok, I just took a quick look. I have 4 wire o2 sensors, looks like the drivers side has one brownish wire just snipped and hanging these from the car harness.. The other side looks similar but has tape all over it. I'll pull it back and have a look after 5 today. This is a mess, how do I get the correct sensors in and hooked up properly?If you look at the 02 sensor wiring, you will see that one wire doesn't connect to anything in the harness. Thats the one you need to ground, you will have to do the same thing for both sides. Dont worry about the orange wire for now.
