When I went to put my fuel rail back on the car one of the injectors started leaking a great deal. At first i thought it was where the injector meets the rail. But it is dripping through the injector. Then I set it down and came back and a different injector was leaking.
Why are they doing this?

I'll bet that you damaged the O-rings on the injectors. They are VERY easy to pinch when installing, and once they are pinched they will never seal properly.
Be very careful when installing the new O-rings, might make sure they are a little wet so they slide in a bit easier.

I agree with Tony....been there. Try using a little lubrication when pushing the injectors into the rails. I took a chunk out of one of my o-rings and the thing was spraying like a fire hose!

When I removed the injector, the ring looked fine other than a little crooked.
How can I tell if it leaks without starting the car. I didnt know it leaked until I moved the rail. Ive been trying to move it but nothing.
PS: Todd, I have to send the other guy $20 first. Did you get your cpu back?
