Need help quick!!

You can buy new pintle caps......do a search to find. Look at it real close where the break is and see if it is real new or been that way for a while. If it is new I'd look down inside the injector hole with a fiber optic device. Most likely it was put in that way or it has already been digested (yikes). Those pintle caps are pretty strong because they are small.

Good Luck, Don

Here is the info you need........it was just discussed last week.

The pintle cap secures the O ring in place so that it doesn't slide off down into the intake. Lost caps are not uncommon, and being plastic, the will burn up in the cylinder if the fall off. Ford made them of plastic for that reason.

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 pintle caps fit either injectors with a pin sticking out the injector end or 4 with more tiny holes in the injector end. The following are listed at the Borg-Warner site ( http://www.borg-warner.com ) as being resellers of Borg-Warner parts:
