when you turn off your engine and the injecotr just drip does that mean its busted? or is it just stuck open (i wish :P). lets just say its a pretty constent flow of gas to where the throttle body is flooded about a half of and inch and riseing intill i let out the pressure though the gas tank cap, i was a little bit hard on it because i am testing in right now and tring to configure the fp but still thats really sucks now i cant get the catback now o well stupid holley injectors. o and i have a holley unit.

 

my engine is really flooded! its still going, at this pace my engine is going to be under fuel in a sec , should i just keep the cap loose to let out the pressure? how big of a fire hazzard is that? anyways where is a good place to get injectors, some that do not brake that can last over 700 miles

i heard that if you hit the injectors with a hammer, yes hammer that they should lossen up, i have heard alot of hollys do that, also chang your oil asap

hammer? i am tempeded but can i have varification to this? i do want to hit them with a hammer but is this nessasary? why do i have to change to oil? does it leak throught the rings?

 

well it was not a hammer that i beat it with it was a wrench, i think its good becasue when i tried to crank it to see if it can hold up the the pressure and it did so i will check it, but i have to take the spark pluge out becasue its flooded and going to the store, never mind just remembered it is thanks giving and every thing is closed

 

Yeah, just to be safe. The excess gas is going to dilude the oil, that's bad mmmmmkay.

 

ok, lol since the last post i had about 6 people tell me to change the oil i have 850 miles on my new engine.. should i go with synthetic?? i have the oil but i dont know if i want to go to it yet because i have heard you should wait for 1000 miles before you do becasue of the rings.. any advise?

 

well i have put new oil in it and its doing kinda good, the injectors that got stuck is spraying good but its not quit as direct of a shot, some of it hits the very edge of the tbi and i have heard that that is a sign of a bad fuel injector, i am prolly going to toss them anyways becasue i really dont want to take the chance of doing that again because its not like take off the air cleaner every time i park to check to see if its overflowing, because if i try to start it and its at the rim of it gas is going to fly every where

 

if iwere you i would call up holly and have themm send you new injectors, if the person you talks to says no, ask for a manager. trust me, hit it with a hammer, its sturdy

Holley injectors are notorious for going bad. You can swap out an OEM/GM injector pod/tower onto your Holley base without too much trouble. I'd try that if Holley won't send you new injectors.

cool, i will probably try that soon, but what if i have to return my top pod, i wonder if they will take it back when i made it the fuel pressure ajustable?

 

Well, if you made any mods you can probably forget about getting your money back. HOWEVER, if the injector isn't firing then you could have an issue with their quality control. HOWEVER HOWEVER, they can just come back and say because you were mucking around with the fuel pressure you are liable for any damage/problems. Holley injectors apparently don't do very well with increased pressures...

Better crack out your OEM stuff...
