Any Know About These? Think They Can Cause Your Car 2 Run Effed Up

 

Injector insulator? You mean o-ring leak??? If so, yes that can cause quite the bit of trouble as it allows way too much fuel to enter the combustion chamber. I don't want to answer too in depth untill we know exactly what you are refering to. :-)

 

no not o-ring. insulator. under the injector.
part 16603fa

 

Ahh, I've never heard anything about them.

 

He's talking about the rubber insulators that the injectors set into in the intake.

Mooze,iirc the only issue i've heard about reusing the original insulators is a raw gas smell.

I just turned mine over when i replaced my injectors.

 

also called injector gasket. i had one that didn't look to good and someone told me it shouldn't hurt that much but after install i have a leak and it sounds like thats where its at

 

when I replaced my injectors I didn't even take the fuel rail off, just poped the old injectors out and "gently" slide the new, well lubricated ones into place.

 

well mine were stuck. i mean stuck. they had never been changed

 

the insulators are cheap enough that they should be changed with the injectors if one thinks about it.

 

yeah. just didnt feel like waiting as they are a dealership part. ordered a set tho

 

Sounds like another part Brian needs to stock.

 

I have them available...

 

well how much are yours?

 

same as the dealer. there's no profit on a $2 item.

 

If the injector cushion is shrunk or cracked you will have a vacuum leak which be bad. NAPA also sells a kit.

 

well i got them 4 a buck a piece. 1$ profit for u

 

good, now you know why I don't care too much about selling them.
no profit + not normally replaced = slow turn + headche.
