Hi all, Well, today was overcast and in the low 80s, so I took off the afternoon from work and installed my new fuel injectors. One of the screws on the old injectors was so rusted I had to drill it out to get the injector off without breaking the manifold. Because that took way more time than it should have, I didn't get a chance to drive the van today. It did, however, start up pretty quickly after I got everything back together. At this point, I was just looking to see if there were any leaks and if the van would start. No leaks! Yay!! One thing I realized as I was putting everything back together, though, is that the connectors for the injectors aren't marked at all. Does it matter which connector is connected to which injector? I tried swapping the ones on the driver's side and it didn't seem to make any difference. I'll let you all know the outcome after I've had a chance to drive it. My gut feeling at this point is that there doesn't seem to be an appreciable difference in the way the engine runs. We'll see . . . Marc Perdue, in central VA.
