Yea definitely. Hey not sure if your interested but a tuner from MA is gonna come down end of August/early September to tune a bunch of us. Not sure if you want to get street tuned and ditch the trifecta tune, but if not come to hang out.

You gotta make sure they're seated in the fuel rail and in the head properly. Did you lube up the o rings on the injectors before you installed them?

if you mean lube it up with gasoline cos it had plenty of gasoline on it when it spilt. if you mean putting oil in the o-rings then no.

I'm pretty sure you are supposed to lube them up with some oil, that's what I did to mine. This way they slide in easy and don't get pinched or distorted and create a vac leak. Try re-installing them with some lube. If that doesn't work i'd get some new orings, but I'm pretty sure if you lube them up and reinstall it will solve your problem, that is if the vac leak is at the injectors. You sure it's there?

hey man how were you able to find out where the leak was coming from? I have a leak on my car and dont know where its coming from but it makes my car rev n such at idle and has died twice after a pull. only when the ac is off though.

keep your car running, and listen for a hissing soud, that hissing soud is a vacuum leak.. squeeze any sorounding tubes and if you can hear the hissing sound change then there you go...
