I'm trying to put my car back together and right now i'm stuck on the injectors. Finally figured out how to put the secondary rail back into the LIM and I hit a wall...From what I understand, the diffuser goes in first then there is a insulator that goes on top of the diffuser. After that, the fuel rail with injectors goes in. Got that from another post here. When I was removing the LIM, the diffuser was in pieces. I took it out and it shattered. I don't want this to happen again, a shatter diffuser that can end my motor's life. How or CAN I install the injectors without using the diffusers. Since there is no diffuser there won't be anything there for the insulator to push on to create a seal. Any help would be great. Thanks!!

 

You must use the diffuser. They do not cost that much. Your broken while trerying to pull out a 15 year old plastic part use a new one and don't try to pull it out in 15 years and you will be ok.

I do hope anybody that changes injectors uses new diffusers, rubber gaskets, insulator spacer, etc. as a normal parctice, these are not reusable parts.
