No DIY for injector replacement?

Also when you have the rail out check to make sure 1. Rail isnt bent anywhere 2. Each hole in the manifold is uniform and not somehow bigger 3. Each bottom oring is intact and its retainer didnt get cracked.

I used these

I'm looking to replace my injectors with Mpowerful's 19# injectors and I can't find a single thing online for doing it. So it must be really easy, from what I have found its not, or it literally has not been documented and shared online. So I was wondering who could come up with some good steps for doing 19# injectors WITHOUT removing the intake manifold, because I know it's possible.

Don't need to take out the manifold, I used hose pliers to grab the injectors. From Harbor Freight: http://www.harborfreight.com/3-piece...ers-37909.html

^. Never pull the injectors out of the rail while its on the car with those pliers. You will break the pintle caps. Hahaha

So... It was that screw... I feel dumb but the reason I kept denying the fact was because I thought the screw being broke in there was sealing the hole up. But some spray found it out real quick it was leaking from there. Now I just have to be careful extracting it.

Easiest way to pinpoint a miss is to pull the plug wires one by one with the engine at idle. We did this during my chip/injector swap and found the bad injector quickly.

Hissing is always a vacuum leak and I wouldn't put too much faith in the ability of 30yo ECU technology to re learn without clearing out the old data by disconnecting the battery. At least that's how I solved my high idle.

Running better now?

Yes it's running better now! It kind of has issues starting up and going to idle.

I had my local general-purpose auto shop smoke test my intake system. They charged half an hour of shop time, found 2 vacuum leaks, fixed both (electrical tape) and charged me 45 bucks total. I tipped the mechanic $20 and the car ran much better. With the age of the rubber bits, and the complexity of all the vacuum crap on these cars, a smoke test is well worth the cost. DIY is great up to a point, but save yourself some brain damage and have it smoked.

Will do sir. I'll price them out soon.
