Will do this tonight. Any one knows how much torque required for the injector hold down screws? I mean the cap that hold down the injector into the fuel rail? I can't get this info anywhere.
Also, i need to remove the fuel rail, any gasket behind it?
The fuel rail is hold down to the manifold only by several bolts with about 2 ft/lb torque?
Thanks much in advance.

I just swapped my injectors a few days ago, and I luckily had my full set of injectors still in the rail. I couldnt get those phillips screws out to save my life. I was thinking you'd have to use a big pair of vise grips or something. I'd replace those screws with a allen or hex head bolt if you have the opportunity. It would make removing them alot easier if you diy next time. I wish I had the time but I didn't.

Thanks for the reply. I will use a locking plier to remove the screws.
if i understand you right, you swapped the whole injector rail with all the injectors in it. Did you see any gasket, O-rings between the fuel rail the the manifold?
Thanks.

yea there are large orings, they are about 1/16 of an inch or 1/8th.I just reinstalled them after putting a little oil on them. Seems to be working.

Of now I find out theres a leak when I fill up my tank and I have a coolant leak. Yay more stuff to fix ><

hey Al, would you mind selling me one or two working injectors from the rail you pulled. i've got a single faulty injector on one of my cars, looking for a cheap and quick fix.

To get the screws out you have to yous a good screw driver and press it down realy hard and turn it just a little be sure that the screw driver stays streight up and you dont go crooked. They are a pain in the a$$ but they will come out with out stripping that way.Also you can take a a hammer and beet on the top of the screw driver at first while just barley trying to turn it to loosing them up a little

Sure but I dont know which ones are good. It just ran like crap and it was dumping fuel and sounding exactly like bad injectors. So i replaced them all from my 166K motor (the car/engine has 188K) and it ran soo much better. YGPM

Can anyone tell me how to properly test the injectors????///

yes, unplug the connector and measure the resistance across the 2 terminals

what is the proper ohm reading

doesn't matter. they aren't connected whe you do the test

It should be around 12 ohm. But eventhough all my injectors measured ok by resistance, they are all shot. This happened after i used some STP super concentrated fuel injector cleaner a month ago.
Power balance check would be better way to check.
Injectors on these car are known to cause trouble.
Good luck.

One more thing, i found the pulling out the whole fuel rail first then it would be breeze to tapping out the bad injectors with a rubber mallet gently, one second a pop. Also using a locking plier to remove the screws was just so easy.

I used the same fuel injector cleaner two days ago........
