Default injector testing

Does anyone in the tampa area test injectors? New fuel problem and is either the rail or the injector.

do you suspect a bad injector or you think they are not big enough for your application? i have a special tool to test injectors with but i am in the longwood area. let me know what you want to test and see if i can help you out in some way.

They are big enough, 42's. Went to leave the house last night and noticed fuel on the garage floor that was fresh. popped the hood and saw the fitting on the front of the fuel rail was leaking and the front two fuel injectors on the passenger side were wet. Car ran fine.

I have pulled the rail off and looked at the injectors. None of the o-rings are damaged so it is either the injector or the fitting on the fuel rail is leaking. I have put some white permatex thread sealer on the fitting and will put it back together to see if that fixes it. If not then I am back to either the rail, fitting or injector.

I still may need to test them or get them cleaned so if anyone knows where to go locally let me know.

The only other thing I can think of is that the injector is malfunctioning. Andy these are the same ones I have had for a while from the old heads and cam setup. Just trying to cover all the bases. None of the threads look to damaged so I am guessing it may just be the fitting worked itself loose. But if it leaks again at the injector want to see if it just needs to be cleaned or replaced.
