fuel injector leak ?
fuel injector leak ?
I have two injectors they are externally wet. both have fuel "stains" on the bottom where the injector and manifold meet. engine bay smells like fuel.
I was thinking I should buy new injectors buy im just not 100% they are the injectors how do i know its not the fuel rail or something else? im pretty convinced they are the injector Orings but i dont want to buy $200 injectors and find out later they arent the problem. Going to do a pressure test but not sure how conclusive it will be ... and might not even be necessary because i can obviously see something leaking theres alot of evidence pointing to the injector but i just want to be 100% sure before spending cash$$.
also , is there a discount for forum members for southbay injectors?

Re: fuel injector leak ?
you can ohm test the injectors with them in the car very easily, do a search.
It most likely is the o rings leaking. When you pull the fuel rail off, put the injectors back into the rail and put that on top of a piece of cardboard/paper. then turn the key on but do not start the car. if they leak out onto the paper/cardboard then they're bad. chances are if they're original injectors then they are well on their way out.
you can get a discount for southbay when you call them to place your order. they're great to deal with over the phone.

Re: fuel injector leak ?
do you mean take out the fuel rail out of the car (the fuel injectors should still be attached when i take it out)..
then hook up the fuel rail then do the test?
thanks
Re: fuel injector leak ?
If you're going to pull the injectors out of the rail,, just switch out the orings.
And yes, we still have the promo 10% off however it's not set up on the website yet as the site is fairly new. So, if you are interested in a set of injectors just give us a call at the shop and let us know that you're from thirdgen and we'll take care of you.
