Default Fuel Rail Question
So I am going to buy the Bosch type 3 injectors my question is can I run the stock fuel rail or do I need an upgraded one?
Also if I need an upgraded one any recommendations for a good one?

What's a Bosch Type 3 injector?

The typical upgrade for 1997 4.0Ls is Bosch 0280155703, found in mid-to-late '90s Chryslers, predominantly Neons. Straight swap.

it will be a plug and play to your existing fuel rail.

Okay thank you ehall. Sorry it took me soo long to reply. I wasn't able to access my account for the last week.
I'll definitely try that today though. And just to clarify, you mean priming as in turning the key to the on position a couple times, correct?

yeah you want to pressurize the rail and see if the injectors leak

ps--it may only happen when the engine is warm

If I find that one of them are leaking would it be from bad sealing or seating on the o-ring

Usually a tear in an O-ring, but it could be a bad seat

if it leaks just from pressure then the pintle inside is probably damaged or dirty

they are mechanical devices, they wear out eventually
