Might as well replace it. You can get replacements at just about any auto parts place. Only takes a second and very inexpensive.

In most cases, if something is broke it will effect how if performs.

replace them. youll have a hard time finding them but they are available. the dealer here said you have to buy the whole inj.i replaced all my inj. seals and caps, upper and lower intake gasket set and the car runs great.
