Injectors LEAK! HELP!!

[PhLoBuS]

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.

it leaks where the fuel rail meets the injector, the top part of the injector

pressed down on the top of the fuel rail and tighten the bolts with pressure on them, see if that works...did for me once

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.

Yeah I did lubricate them, I will take them off and make sure they are clean and try everything again

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.

Hell fuel rail might be ****. Get a new fuel rail if all else fails. hmmmmmm car parts!

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