Default Injectors rebuild

Hey guys,

I pulled my 24 pound injectors out today to switch them and 3 of them have the orange rubber tip broken. One 2 of them its broken off half way and on the other it fell off as soon as i pulled it out. Can I purchase those rubber tips (they look like nipples) anywhere or do I have to buy the whole injector?
I put back my 19 pound injectors to see if i could save on gas but my car is running like crap. The idle sucks, it drops to around 600 even when i bring it up and my brakes don't work cause the brake booster starts to shut off cause of the idle, and the car just has no *****.

Thanks guys

you cant run 19# injectors in an EFI system tuned for 24#ers

and you need new pintle caps

If you didn't switch the MAF back to one calibrated for 19 lbs injectors then that'll explain your crap run condition[:@]

You don't have to buy new injectors, just get a seal kit for them(pintle cap, spacer, and o-rings). Napa should have them.
