Default Fuel injector leaking questions.

I have a renix 1988 jeep Comanche 4.0. I have just put a pacesetter header on and installed everything back and I am leaking fuel out of the top of the fuel injectors where they go into the fuel rail. My guess is maybe the o- rings are bad? But all of them are leaking.

I feel like it might be time just to put new injectors in completely. I have search on which injectors to get that will be plug and play but am having trouble on with ones will be a nice up grade and will not need a adapter.

I need recommendations and Ideas as to the leaking fuel rail. I also put the snap clips back on and at first I thought they were not seated right but after messing with them it looks as if the are idiot proof.


Also if I do just get new upgraded injectors will some body point me into the right direction as far as vendors or places to buy them and how much they might run.

it almost sounds like your rail isn't pushed all the way onto the injectors.

but for an upgrade, i went with late 90's dodge sebring/cirrus #703 injectors.
perfect plug and play upgrade. just grease up the new o-rings upon install and fit them in exactly as if you were using the jeep injectors.

disconnect your battery (really should be disconnected while you do the swap anyway), then simply touch the positive and negative cables together for a half a minute while UNDONE from the battery to clear the computer.

the computer will relearn the new injectors and away you go.

I'm suppose to pull off or part of the injector? It has a hole
In on the end of it and I can see the 4 holes in the

Can't say. I can almost make out the Bosch number on the side. Looks like 0280150878? If so that number means nothing.
