NEW INJECTOR LEAKING GAS - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Route 66 · 02-18-2012

[Disappointed] Last week I intalled new delphy injectors in my ZR1. Got it running a few days ago, while washing it yesterday I noticed I could smell gas at the front of the car. upon inspection I found a small amount of raw gas under drivers side fuel rail. Since I did not replace the o rings on the cross over pipes that connect the two fuel rails I thought it was leaking there so I took it apart an replaced the o rings. put fuel rails an injectors back on the motor an did a leak check before putting the plenum back on. What I found was one primary injector on that side leaking at the neck of the injector. The delphi injector's have 2 small holes in the neck an the gas seems to be leaking out of both of the holes. My question is am I the only one to have a new injector leaking like this? ... Thanks E..

I installed delphi's injectors about 4 months ago and no leaks, nor problems. Did you get them at FIC?
