Well, I am getting quite annoyed by the injectors leaking so much fuel. I simply put in a new trickflow upper/lower intake and they leak? Why? Its only two of them 2nd to last and the last one, one on each side. I have used a mallet and hit them down and still, the fuel just flows right out. I changed orings and everything on all injectors. I just want to get the DAMN car running, its been weeks and I NEED this car running. I dont have the money to replace all the injectors. It should not be them either because everything is still stock and worked fine before.

Please help me out!!

Just a guess, but the lower intake might be faulty. Is the fuel rail bolted down? I am sure that it is. Check the Orings for debri and small cuts or abbrassions.

i dont reccomend hitting plastic objects with mallets,
however...you should check your stock fuel rail- be sure there arnt any o rings left behind from your last set. Just a thought. If that isnt the problem- be sure not to tweak the other of the two bolts on the fuel rail to the lower intake until both sides are evenly seated. Use a buddy to help you out if you need to. Good luck!

Also, I like to grease the orings up a bit before installing them. I've ruined a set before by just installing them dry... microtears I guess.

you probably made things worst by smacking the injector rail with a mallet. But they were leaking prior to the smacking. I would suggest cleaning the fuel rails "female" portion where the male end of the injector slides into. Maybe theres dirt clogged in there.

I used a mallet to seat my injectors. Just tapped it lightly and it made it nice and snug.
