Post by REDse86 »

Alright while installing new injector O rings plastic spacers and caps one of the needle like tips in the center of my injectors broke off. If I go ahead and do everything as it will it hurt anything?

that injector is poo-poo'ed.
Fiero injectors are Pintle style, and, from the sounds of it - you broke the pintle...
that injector will not atomize properly now.
