So if i see no fuel around the O-ring then the fuel injector isnt sucking in air and its probably a wiring issue? Do you think i got the plugs switched on cylinder 5 and 7?


Oh and Zman thanks to your tag I just ordered the Rock Solid Ram Steering fix :P

Now i just need mufflers and O2 sensors :P oh and these damn lights to turn off its not christmas!!

I'm sorry but, without actually seeing what's going on, any kind of suggestion I make, is just that, A suggestion. But, if it's not getting wet around the base of the injector's, I doubt the orings are the problem.

Yeah, Its definately not wet, however the two cylinders giving the codes are the ones that are not sitting in either correctly or fully. Just wondering if the seating may be causing the mis-fire or maybe i did goof up the two injector cables.

As for the ABS and brake light on all of a sudden is there something near the master cylinder that could be knocked to cause that??

Yea, maybe you hit one of the rusted lines and have a pin hole.

Soooooo after long day of wrenching and standing in my engine bay I pulled off the drivers side fuel rail swapped the front two O-rings with the back two that went in easier and put a nice coat of oil on them to help them in. What i noticed is the fuel rail mount has to sit flush on the intake manifold on the drivers side and its deceiving because another bracket goes there too. What tricked me is theres a stud with a nut on it and I was putting the fuel rail and the bracket on top then another nut. so it goes intake manifold, fuel rail, stud with nut in middle fat threads down tighten, vacuum assembly, nut. and done. With this the injectors went in like a breeze and all my lights went away! drives like a wild beast now especially high speeds 70-90mph

PICS TOMORROW!

Put in new brackets to hold my spark plugs away from the headers.

I bet the fuel was evaporating too quickly to see it.
