Alright I removed the fuel rail and checked out injector 1, which was wet from the leak and I am pretty sure that is the culprit because the thick rubber at the end of it where the nozzle is fell apart when I removed the fuel rail and when I removed the injector the O ring was shredded a bit but...
Alright now that I know for sure those areas don't have any places for fuel to come out then it has to be the injector in that area and I bet it's not seated properly. I will remove them all, lube them up with vaseline or gas then put them back in.
Jetjock, there really is no need to be a dick...
In that case then it might be from something right under the spacer, perhaps I did not connect the injector into the fuel rail quite right. I will remove the fuel rail and inspect it further.
Because the TSRM is not 100% informative, you can't get techniques on how to install things, or make do with what you have from a TSRM. TSRM works fine if you have all of the special tools also it doesn't say to lubricate things a certain way from what I can recall like I have been told on here...
What is Fwiw? and replace the O ring on the spacer? I don't remember seeing O rings on those.
I did not put grease or oil on the injectors O rings, TSRM didn't say to do any of that. So I have to remove the fuel rail and lube up the O rings and spacers then put it back and test it for leaks, how?
Well it turns out where I thought it was leaking, from the regulator, was not where it was actually leaking it is leaking from the spacer on the fuel rail right next to it those black and silver spacers it is only leaking from one. Do I need a new one or is there something I can do to fix it?
Yea I was thinking the same thing after I put everything up lol. Where can I get a new O ring? Like Ace Hardware or auto parts stores?
Yup, seems like autozone has a bunch of O rings for fuel pressure regulators.
Yea I have those on there I think the problem is it's not on there tight enough, the washer and O ring looks fine maybe a bit old but they should work because when I had the BHG it wasn't spraying gas everywhere, then again would the BHG relieve some fuel pressure from the fuel rail?
Yea I got that part down, some fuel spat out from the regulator like blow off valve while I was cranking it a friend of mine said I should have teflon tape on it, so I am doing that now.
According to the TSRM I tightened that regulator properly.
Now I tightened that regulator so fuel should stop leaking, I deduced that oil was leaking from the oil dipstick because it felt like it was spraying from that area judging from what I felt in the surrounding area and splash pattern so...
I moved the throttle body out of the way and connected the plug, put it all back on now to tighten that fuel regulator then deal with the dipstick.
Yea after I am done I will take some more exterior pics and interior pics after I clean her up, she is filthy right now lol interior just needs to...
I do not intend on having that fuel catch fire, I will soak up what I can then poured some water carefully in the areas I can't reach to wash it off. Come on guys give me more credit than that lol I am not going to drive a car knowing I got fuel spraying all over my engine haha.
Oh the intake manifold lol I got confused lol.
Yea I am not driving the car at all with that fuel leak I just saw it today when I started the car up to adjust the CPS to at least try to make it not run rich and yea I will tighten it down.
I think it is also the oil dipstick tube because it...
I looked under the banjo and it stops at the fuel rail, so I am going to remove the throttle body. Oh and I have another fuel leak from the other end of the fuel rail, that regulator with a banjo, just needs to be tightened, so I will take care of that as well. I will flush the cooling system...
