Injectors tapping

I had to put a new intake manifold gasket on my 92 LO3 motor yesterday. So obviously I had to disconnect the TBI and everything else. I noticed when I reinstalled it that the injectors themselves are very loud. They are making a very loud tapping noise. I double checked all my connections and everything seems like its hooked up fine. Seems to be pulsating the fuel spray on both a tad as well. I didn't notice this before so I assume its something I did when I reinstalled it, but I'm lost. Anything that I could have done to cause this, or are my injectors just fried?

Re: Injectors tapping

sounds like everything is working right two me, the tapping sound is a good thing, when the injectors are not tapping and just dumping fuel in is a bad thing

Re: Injectors tapping

Cool, I'm just imagining things then. That or it seems like I inadvertantly advanced the timing a little so maybe it's dumping a little more fuel at idle. Either way, ahhh breathe easy, lol

Re: Injectors tapping

Did you put your air cleaner all back together and listen to it again? It's probably normal, TBI injectors are notoriously loud when they're exposed.
