NEED HELP-Injector install gone bad! Hey guys, I just spent all day installing my new fuel pump, and 42 lb injectors. The good news is fuel is making it to the motor. The bad news is when it gets there, it's leaking out of the fuel rails like a fountain! 
I shut the car off, pulled every injector to make sure the o-rings weren't damaged, re-installed, and still the same problem! Does anyone have any clue as to what I should look for?? The car idles VERY rough, and there is fuel everywhere. WHat was installed was a racetronix fuel pump, and 42 lb injectors. No tuning for the 42's yet, that was supposed to be tomorrow, but I can't even drive the car!
PLEASE HELP!!

Stock or aftermarket fuel rails???
Make sure that there aren't any old o-rings stuck in the rail? I had the same thing happen to me -- just missed one o-ring and the thing just puddled up fuel on the intake.

Alright, so I'm the putz of the day. After consulting a not-so-reliable source, I was under the impression that it was not a good idea to use any kind of lube to get the injectors in to the fuel rail. So, I broke 3 of the o-rings installing the whole thing!!
Live and learn I guess. Thanks for the responses guys.
