Fuel injector cap necessary?

I bought a kit to change the o-rings on my fuel injectors but it did not have the end cap piece:

The end caps were are broken or cracked when I removed the fuel injectors. Do I need the end caps? I am not able to find the part online or at a local store. If I do need the end cap where can I find the end cap?

Here are the o-ring kits that are offered at rockauto.com

Thanks

Pretty sure you need that and it is not sold separate.

Actually you can get them seperate but not at the dealer or any local parts store. I bought a 00vi lower with rails and injectors and they didnt come with a single pintle cap. I searched and searched and finally found out where.

www.injector-rehab.com

Shoot them an email and tell them you need pintle caps for whatever year your car is. That's what I did and they emailed me back which ones I needed and I received them very quickly. Nothing but good stuff to say about them.

As long as you matched the caps up by looks you'll be good. Glad I could help man. I was freaking when I thought I couldn't get new caps and I was gonna have to toss out 6 perfectly good injectors.

Just as an FYI, the dealer does sell them separately as I ordered one before. Can't remember price but it wasn't much.

Interesting because I went to my local dealer and they told me I was **** outta luck. Basiclly I was told the only way I could get them was $173 per injector new.

Whoever told you that is not a parts person..utter bullcrap because the injector does not come with it and it doesn't come with o-rings which is what pisses me off. I know this because I bought three of them at $120/piece and swapped rear 3 injectors to not go back under UIM for a few years.
