well i was drivin a couple hours ago and i went to get on it a little, when my car just died. it smelled like it was flooded so i tried waiting a little to see what happened, but no luck. i opened the hood to see the fuel injector on cylinder 2 with a little puddle of gas around it. well i bought a new injector but it says i need to release fuel pressure etc. before replacing. how should i go about replacing the injector? any tips will help out a lot.
thanks

by the way its an 88 gt if that makes a difference

stick something in the schrader valve on the end of the fuel rail- just like you were trying to let air out of a tire

will i hear pressure releasing when i do that?

the valve is at the front of the fuel rail on the passenger side (on the very end pointing torwards the valve cover)

their is a valve behind the alt, take the black cap off of it, get an old rag, a small screw driver and hold the rag under and around the valve and push the valve in and it will release the pressure, it is located on the fuel line and it is the same thing as a valvestem on a tire. then take the upper intake off and place it aside, make shure to mark you lines and wires if you dont know where thye go, but after you take the upper intake off their are 4 little bolts that hold the fuel rails down to the lower intake remove them and then the fuel rails should pull up, pull on it easy wiggle the injectors around and they will come out, try to keep the injectors in the fuel rails it is easyer to put them into the intake then push them back into the rails. that should sum it up, sry its a lil long.

i would replace the o-rings on the injectors too. im going to be replacing the injectors in my car on thursday and im going to replace all the 16 of the o-rings

saj1420

yea i did buy a set of rings too, hopefully i dont have to replace the injector and its only one of the rings, the guy at auto zone was new and i dont even know if he gave me the right one, first he thought it was a 14lbh injector it is 19# tho right?

stanglx2002

yes the stock are 19#

i am having a similar issue with my 86 capri with a 5.0 ho i just recently installed a 65mm throttle body on it and it has not been running right since... when im at a dead stop and stomp the gas the car bogs down like its not getting enough fuel... i didnt think that replacing the throttle body would cause that.... i was wondering if anyone has had this happen and which route would be better to go at first a higher volume fuel pump or larger injectors. i am new to mustangs as far as owning one and fixing them up can anyone help??????
