Replace injector(s), grab a set of ford yellow or orange tops or a set from a 93 LT1

I have been told that a 7 dollar o-ring kit would solve all my trouble with this injector, and prevent others from doing the same, but where it pisses from im not sure if its the o-ring or not. And as for the yellow tops, will they increase performance at all? or its just another, as-good-as stock option?

there better then stock... search a write up i got... lots of info on them there... i have the yellow tops in mine... but they were free... if i had to buy them i would have got the neon injectors... you just need O rings man... if you pull off your entire fuel rail and keep all the injectors attached then cut your ignition on... if any of them spray or leak then u have a bad injector... may as well test while you have them out replacing O rings... Ace has a big selection of o rings... there cheap... have fun...

read my thread above about the injectors... the neon injectors we talked about in the thread are the ones you want for added power... the yellow tops are just alittle better mpg's... has 4 holes instead of 1... better atomization... just read the thread... i could get all back into it... lol... just get the part number and go to the JY looking for them... they came in more then just the vehicle listed but they ONLY come on the motor he listed... think it was the 2.4 or 2.0... whatever it says... no other motors has these injectors...
