Hey guys. A couple months ago I replaced the #4 injector in my dads car. I ordered it from rock auto, and when I got it I noticed it didn't have the little thing that sticks up on the top and goes into the cap that holds the injector in. Well my dad dropped the car off with me to look at because it won't start (starter issue I think), and when I opened the hood I noticed the gas smell. So my question is should the injector have that little dickie that was on the top of the old injector or does it not matter? And if so can I find a used one and swap that on? I used new o rings on it when I put it in too.

Edit: I just opened the hood and tapped on the starter with a ratchet to see if I could get it to start, and nothin. I looked at the injector and it was dripping gas from all around it. When I go get the starter tested I guess ill get some o rings too.

Ok I picked up some new o rings for the injector, and its still leaking when I turn the key. Anyone know anything else I can try to stop it?

I hate to hear this!

Thanks for the replys, I have it figured out now. I bought another injector, but again it dosnt have that little metal piece on the top. It dosnt leak though.

What metal peice? The clamp that the screws go into to hold the injector in the rail? You're supposed to swap that from the old injector to the new one. It just pulls off.

Just to add balance, been buying parts from RockAuto for the last 15 years and have yet to have any problems.

I don't know what its called, but it sticks out of the top of the injector itself. Its a little metal piece that sticks up and fits into the rubber on the under side of the clamp than holds the injector in.

Ok, I know what you're talking about. I don't know what that's for. I figured it was for pulling the injector out with a special tool of some sort. Don't think it's too important though. The injector still works without it.
