ok, i looked in teh service manual, and it just says "remove injectors" it says replace o rings. it says NOTHING about how to get em out of the rail. do i just pull like crazy?

 

oh yeah, one more thing. i got a fuel injector from tilleys99, the bottom of the injector looks slightly different from the bottom of the ones in my rail now. The ones in the rail now have a round plastic piece around the injector. the one tilleys sent me sorta has 4 plastic prong looking things. like a + as long as the injector fits it'll still work right? It's probably from a VQ. he musta just gotten em mixed up. . . .

 

You are trying to use VQ injectors in a VE? If they are not rated the same for cc/min, your car will run like shat.

When I had my injectors cleaned, looked like they pryed them out. I have an extra set in my garage.

 

would you part with one?

 

To get the injectors out of the rail, take the 2 screws off on each injector. Lift the metal cap thingy off the connector and pull the injector out.

 

i took the 2 screws and the cap off. now do i just pull the hell out of the top of the injector?

 

They have been in the rail for xxxx miles so they are not going to just "pop" out. You are going to have to "pry" them out. RC engineering said they had some special tool but it looks like they just pryed it out(after you unscrew the two top phillips). Is the rail on the car still or did you take the whole thing off? It might be slightly harder to take the injector off w/ the rail is on the car. I suggest you do NOT pry on the portion of the plastic housing that holds the injector plug. You will probably break that one for sure.

I'm not too sure if I would want to sell just one.

Again, you sure those VQ injectors are the same as the VE ones?

 

well, just the bottom looked slightly different. like, the plastic piece surrounding the jet. other than that as far as i can tell they're identical. . .. .

btw, the rail is out and sitting in front of me. . .

 

Maybe find a small wooden dowel that you can put in vice and push the injector out with. I don't know if this will damage the injector holes or not. Might be easier than pulling. Also when you put the new injectors in, chilton's says to wet the o-rings with a little oil. It will slide in and seat better.

 

they're from a DOHC Q45. .. .

 

green max: thanks alot man. i appreciate all the advice. . .
