LtNoogie · 11-26-2008, 12:25 AM

mikenacarato · 11-26-2008, 12:28 AM

SIPNGAS · 11-26-2008, 12:31 AM

He knows we're waiting, right? =)

KCALB SIRAY · 11-26-2008, 12:41 AM

I've got a beer and some popcorn, I'm ready

SIPNGAS · 11-26-2008, 12:42 AM

Why is it taking so long? Is he buzzing around the neighborhood?? I hope the silence is a good thing....

4 minutes...I only have 4 minutes left, Long!

SIPNGAS · 11-26-2008, 12:50 AM

This is the first thread I'm checking in the morning!

cali yaris · 11-26-2008, 12:52 AM

me too! This is....well.. painful, in a funny sort of way?

KCALB SIRAY · 11-26-2008, 12:53 AM

kinda like when you were a kid and you got your first remote control car. I never put mine down, did you? He'll update us soon, I'm sure.

LtNoogie · 11-26-2008, 12:55 AM

Ok, the car started. It idled rough but we verified that the belt did not disintegrate.

The blower clutch engages and disengages.

Then 5 minutes into idling, my brother yells "stop the engine!"

Fuel injector #2 popped out of the fuel rail and gas went all over the valve cover.

We will have to do a partial disassembly and try to get the injector to fit tighter.

mikenacarato · 11-26-2008, 12:55 AM

:( sorry to hear about it. why didnt the rail sit tight?

I don't know much about fuel injectors but ours are plastic things that just push into the fuel rail and are held in place by the o-ring. As Doc has said, you need to lube these with WD-40 before seating them into the fuel rail. I did not do this and I thought that the injectors went in fine. Apparently not.

Don't use WD40, use vaseline. Also inspect the o rings very carefully. If you cut one you will need a new one, and the car will never run right. The o rings are made of a different material so they arent broken down by contact with gasoline.

LtNoogie · 11-26-2008, 12:57 AM

Believe me, we had two fire extinguishers at the ready. That's all we're gonna do for the night. The engine is warmish and I have gas on the valve cover.

Well, I think I held my breath as much as you guys did. I kept yelling at my brother to get his face out of the engine compartment in case something flew out.

I'll post what little pictures I have tonight.

Doc Zaius · 11-26-2008, 01:08 AM

Congrats on finishing. Sorry it didn't go the first time.

My last injector sprayed fuel 3 times (I think) before we got it seated properly. I then lubed up the o-rings with a bit of WD-40, and it popped on properly. Like I mentioned previously, my Toyota tech said you should always lube the injectors when putting them back onto the rail.

At least, popping off the fuel rail and reseating the injectors doesn't require removing anything else. Just un-snipping the zip ties holding the cable bundle to the rail.

Anyhow, good luck tomorrow when you try again! We'll be waiting!!

LtNoogie · 11-26-2008, 01:34 AM

Gosh, the pressure you guys are putting me under is worse than the pressure I already feel!
