mikroman Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 Anyone disput that it's a bad head gasket? I have some info that it might be a crack piston... What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikroman Posted May 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 interesting, becasue it just had the new fuel rail recall done on it. Could the dealership have screwed something up to casue that when they did the recall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikroman Posted May 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 YOU ROCK! I did as suggested after staring at the engine for 2 hours I figured out how to get the rail off the engine. Once I did that my wife cranked the car over and one of the injectors was stuck open. So now what? Just replace the injector???? is it electornic? The local parts place doesn't have it and cannot order it I guess it's a dealer only part. that means they are expensive. THanks a bunch man I was headed down a road that was bad. Now I have to go back to the dealer that told me I needed a head gasket and give him a piece of my mind. Mikroman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyG Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 Now don't that beat all! A dealership that doesn't have a clue. I hope this solves all your problems, keep in mind that they may have been making their diagnosis based on some other info and figured they get the big money first and add an injector while it was apart. I suppose you could go to a junkyard and get several injectors from an old motor. I did that with my Merkur, got all 4 for $10.00, they tended to crack at the housing and would leak outside the cylinder. Over the years I used two of them and they were both fine. Oh, BTW, all you needed to do was turn the key on...trying to start (fire it up) could have lead to a fire! Glad you survived. Never underestimate the amount of a persons greed.

mikroman Posted May 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 I would agree that it could be an issue if I had walked up and asked them. Except I had the car towed into them. They charged me $112 to tow and look at it. In the end I paid $112 for something that should have cost $112 to fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you remove the clamp at the EGR valve, the fuel rail should lift up. The injectors and rail are retained to the manifold by o-rings.
