Bad fuel injector

Hey guys. I have a leaking injector and thought I would replace them all. Where is the best place to buy quality fuel injectors?

Thanks.

How do you know the injector is leaking? Eliminated the o-rings as the culprit?

What good would that do him? They won't even work with the A32 rail.

Inermittently after the car sits overnight, it will run bad for about 15 sec. with a strong fuel smell outside the car.....My conclusion, a fuel inj. leaking down. O.E. injectors w/ 150k.

In that case, the o-rings simply need to be replaced. Don't forget to lube the new ones up with fresh motor oil before installation.

I would check the rubber fuel lines as well.
I know that they can brittle as they get older and will sometimes weep fuel until they warm up and the rubber expands.

not sure how familiar you are with the sytems, but have lots of rags ready for the gas thats gonna shoot out i just got mine at autozone, I think it was bosch or bargwarner, not the best but it sure as hell works better then my dead one! Do lube them up, we used a light oil, I forget what it was, but my dad had some around from his honda mechanic days. if its your lines, that sux, anything on the back half of the engine is no fun. If I had to reaplce my fuel rails I might just step it up to a 00VI install....
