Yesterday, 3/4 I installed my Intense Stage 3 on my car. The install went great, took me about 2 hours.

I took it for a drive and something didn't seem right, the car only felt a little bit faster. On my guage it was reading 17.8 psi's, the boost by-pass mod is done. I went to my girlfriends house and I was watching KR and O2 sensor voltage everything seemed great. No KR the voltage stayed in the good range so I was happy.

I get out of the car and smell a really strong scent of gas. I checked the injectors and gas was pouring out of injector 1.

I go home, take off the fuel rail and reinstalled the injector. Started the car up still gas is pouring out of it.

I go to take the fuel rail back off, and I broke a bolt holding it in. I gave up!

This morning 3/5 I go and take out the broken bolt and go to Napa to get a new one.

I checked the injectors again everything seemed ok. I started the car back up and gas is pouring out of injectors 1 and 3. Also, an ENGINE POWER REDUCED msg came across the DIC...

So, tmw after I get out of class I will be calling Intense to get this resolved...I just want to get the car running!

 

The injectors have o-ring on each end right ? Did you possibly tear one of the o-rings when installing/uninstalling ?

 

WOW! Thats a big problem. Sounds like the O rings are not seating properly and leting the injectors leak. I had the same problem with my cavy. I used a bit a Vasoline on the O rings and it fixed the problem.
Call Intense Befor doing this to make sure its OK befor you try it.

Later.

 

wow that sucks

 

Yes, you want to use something like vaseline to coat the top and bottom and make sure the rings are on them.

 

Well, I read that on ENUFPWR's post about the Intense install... I tried it but it didn't seem to make a difference I will try again...

Thanks...

 

that sucks man hope you fix it

 

Well, good news everyone the car is fixed!!! And running STRONG!

I went back out took off the two problem injectors librally coated the O-rings with vasaline and gently worked them down into the fuel rail....

Started the car up with no problems, no CEL's. I checked the injectors and everything is ok...

Took the car for a spin and there I smell FUEL!!!! #3 injector was now leaking and #1 was leaking some!!!!

So, I go home take the fuel rail back off, and took off, again, the two problem injectors and replaced the O-rings with the stock blue O-rings and VERY librally coated the O-rings with vasaline and gently reinstalled them. Bolt the fuel rail back on. Start the car up and everything is ok

Took the car for another spin... The car ran great! No leaks yet everything is fine!

On a side note: With INTENSE'S suggested settings were WAY too lean for my car. I am not sure that having an intake and exhaust make a diff., but as of right now I have the settings at: Base: F and WOT: 5

These settings seem to be working out better a little on the richer side before the redline but then at the redline is leans out a bit about 885 (sensor voltage)... So I am between 880 and 910...

Later this week my wideband comes and once installed I will be able to pin point the settings....

Also, my belt is not slipping at all with the stock tensioner! , but I do have the larger idler pulley on its way!!

Intense, this is a great kit! Very noticeable power!

Thanks everyone for the advise!

 

good thing u worked that out.

i was a bit worried about getting the intense stage 3 after reading your initial post :P

 

I wouldn't be, it was my fault for not correctly installing the injectors initially! The kit is great. Feels like a different car!

A few things I have noticed, throttle tip in is VERY abrupt! And my exhaust sounds louder now...

No complaints!!!

 

awesome... good to hear the problems are fixed... now all thats left is to have some fun
