Default Bad Problem....

I switch out my fuel injectors and 2 small plastic pieces fell into where you sit the injectors.... im very pissed off at the Venom brand injectors for not coming with any details or instrustions. How am I going to be able to take those piece out. the engine is very rough idle and acceleration.
PS: I'm looking for help not advice.

what fell off into the engine? were the injectors broken at that point and you left them on? you are aware that you need a retune for the larger injectors, right?

your engine 'ate' the pieces?

i dont like whats going on here one bit.

Take it to a qualified mechanic for a total teardown to find the pieces.

Well, not to insult you, but ridiculous situations like this and broken english are sometimes falsifications.

If it's true, a piece that large will not 'pass' since the valve opening isn't that big. If they were plastic pieces, it probably melted. Change your oil while you vehicle is warm (not running).
