In handlbs: take bag full of clamps, tighten one as fast as u can - crack. Then next, tighten little bit little less... repeat until theyre crakin no more - voila' ... the right lbs was found.

How about inch-pounds? Or how about just tighten them until the hose can't rotate anymore! If your rubber is squeezing thru the band, then you probably need to replace your hoses (soft)! Are you gonna need the torque values for the bumper signal light screws next?

fuel injection clamps don't have slots in them for the rubber to squeeze through and be damaged.

Get the clamp as close to the swage and tighten until you can't rotate the hose on the pipe! Leak check by turning on ignition switch and check for leaks!

Actually, would you happen to have the torque value for my key in the ignition? In Inch-lb?

Really? No need to have the car running? I'm pretty sure I see it leaking after it has started. I notice in the manual it says in the last step of installing the injectors to test for leaks - but I don't see how this is possible without closing everything up and re-connecting everything.

sense of humor FTW



anyhow the fuel pump WILL run and the line WILL pressurize just by putting everything together and turning the key to ON. it'll do that for like 10 seconds then shut off. no need to actually crank it.
