Here's the story...

have the car apart for vac hose job, FPD, etc. Decide to send the injectors to RC engineering just to be thorough while its all apart (the injectors were working fine...trying to fix something that wasnt broke...). after much delay get them back from RC, report shows what i already knew...they were fine. Car goes back together, get it running...runs like ****, extremely and uncontollably rich....check everything, everything hooked up right, seems the injectors are leaking. Call to RC engineering....sometimes the cleaning fluid they use doesnt get fully flushed and dries in the injector, causing the valve not to seat all the way=leak. they say Send em back and they will go over them again. They offer no help on lost hours of having to take it back apart but are very quick to offer 1/2 price on the next set of injectors. Ok so back apart it comes....fuel rail out of the car....and now...the injectors wont come out of the rail. None of them. WTF? They came out fine upon inital dissassembly, they went back in normally, and now they wont come out? Why?

Thoughts, suggestions, experiences are welcome.

Thanks,

Mike Parsons

 

They probably came back to you with new o-rings which would probably create a better seal and make it fit tighter inside the rail.

 

Did you lube the o-rings when you installed the injectors?

 

Yes, new Orings, and oiled when installed...

i dont think there is a trick you just puul hard but not hard enough to break anything

 

just for the heck of it, have you checked to see if you are pulling any codes, a lot could happen to the car, being you took apart as much as you did. check that.

sounds like the injectors seated better, being they had new orings, but they should still come out, dont use screwdrivers to pry with, use a set of channel locks or plyers, and just pull firmly back, while wiggling the injectors back and forth while you pull.

for them to be seated so well makes me wonder if the are leaking, unless one of the orings got in a bind when you put them back in, and has clinched the injector in the rail.
