Re: [eng] injector o-ring replacement

["Chris Z." <czvw@mediaone.net>]

I just did this yesterday on my Fox (should be the same).  The car runs much
smoother now and feels like it has more power at low RPM's.  Anyway, I let
the o-rings soak in warm oil for a few minutes to soften them up a little.
If you push hard enough, the o-ring will go over the "hat" (my poor thumbs).
Be warned, you should either have extra o-rings handy or slip the new ones
over the "hat" before you cut off the old ones.  I had to go back and buy
more after 1 of them decided to split on me.

Subject: [eng] injector o-ring replacement


  gonna buy the tool to replace my injector o-rings (hey, it's only $4)
because of weird idiling (high when engine is cold, fine when engine is
warm - ~400 rpm difference). searching the list i only found info on how
to take the injectors out. that won't be a problem, but how do get the
new o-rings on the damn things? the o-rings look like they'd slide up
the injector if it weren't for the "hat" on the bottom. ideas? thanx.
