What have you done to your MSP today?

if fuel injectors aren't seated properly, could that cause a vac leak? Im bored so Im going to mess around with the car a little bit.
 
You bet they will.

well, just because I was bored I decided to take the manifold off again. I can see a little bit of daylight around the plastic rings on the injectors and the flange on the manifold if I hold it towards the sun. It isn't a lot, just barely visible.

They need to be tighter. Try removing a washer from each side of the rail but make sure you don't crush the injector tips. You want to squeeze the seal and still be able to gently rotate the injector.

cool, I'll definitely do that and keep you posted
 
well, making progress. Found out something about the injector seals that I never knew and now it appears the injectors have sealed completely. But now, I need a new manifold gasket before I can install the 505 again and see if it runs. The gasket I had on there, which was new, 0 miles, ripped after taking the manifold off. No big deal, hopefully she will wake up from this coma really really soon

o ya they do.. been having problems with mine sealing. Pick up some 626 injector seals... way cheaper then the ones for the protege and better.
 
Picked up a new part for the msp....first time I've said that in a while...

dg cf eyelids. Were painted over before since they arrived cracked. Picked them up for $30. Plan to paint match them...

626 seals like this? I bought new seals and the pack came with these and the original style. Gonna use them when I get my mani back.

Well, I don't know where Alt is, but as far as I know, I'm still headed to FL. I haven't heard from my riding partner yet though, so if he falls through, I won't be making the trip alone.
