I just started added a lot more coolant and started the car again. Gas was dripping pretty steadily to the floor of my garage so it seems the leak is pretty bad and must be coming from the injectors again. I guess i'm going to pull the spacers out again and see if that solves the issue.

 

Also my digital boost gauge is acting like complete trash. I don't know what this thing's major malfunction is but it just stays at constant random numbers. Like when im driving it will stay at 2.3 or 2.5 or stuff like that. It does not fluxuate when im off the boost or on it. Pretty annoying.

 

Check your fuel rails for burs that could be causing your o-rings to tear. If you torqued them down without spacers the first time, the injectors themselves could've damaged the rails. Happened to me on my AAM rails when the shop used spacers that weren't thick enough.

 

Good call because my first o-rings, 1 in particular, were torn up. I thoguht maybe they came like that, but now that i think about it, its possible that there are burrs on the fuel rails tearing the o-rings.

 

You're killing me with fuel leaks, DO NOT DRIVE YOUR CAR UNTIL YOU FIX THIS. You are currently one lucky SOB to not have burned your car to the ground. Better make sure you pay your insurance on time this month because you're being really stupid driving it with a fuel leak.


I also have to ask, was this one of the kits that somebody was selling off a blown engine that only ran for a day or 2?

 

That's nothing; I unknowingly drove around with 2.5 inches of fuel pooled up underneith the intake manifold, on top of the block in the "V", wondering why I smelled so much gas and why my mileage was horrible

^^that's not a joke, it really happened

 

I'm definately not driving the car anymore. Today im flying down to san diego because i have school starting tomorrow. I am going to have the car transported to VRT down in SD and they are going to fix everything for me.

 

bump for updates.

 

You know the Jack-in-the-Box tune? (No, not the restaurant, the old toy...)

That tune was in my head as I read this thread.

You know how it ends, right?

*POP! Goes the Weasel.

It's not worth the risk, poping the motor...glad to see you took it to a shop...tell us what they figured out.
