I just put in a set of FCP Groton Injector seals, and I was wondering
what people thought of the caps they give you.
I cut off the old hardened ones that looked like they could have been
original.
These new ones seem loose. There is a small protrusion up into the
cap that I think will recess
the needle valve of the injector, and I can not tell if the injector
will center itself in the cap when installed in the bore on the head.
They just look counter productive to a good fitting.
Car was rough at idle and getting 5mpg less then it did.
I did not find any Vac. leaks, and when I shot some oil around the
injector base at the head it seamed to idle better so I tried the new
seals.
Now it is harder to start and still idles rough. It's running rich,
you can smell the gas in the exhaust.
I am pulling the injectors again because I did not flush them. I'm
going to try drawing cleaner up through the needle valve with A
Mightyvac Brake bleeder. I read some one had success with that. As
long as I had them out I was thinking of leaving the caps off, and
maybe getting some Original Volvo parts caps to put on.
After this it's swap out the AMM and see what happens.
If I still strike out It's a new O2 sensor, or I guess I start
replacing Vac lines One at a time,can't hurt and is cost effective.
Any one know where to get direct replacement Vac lines.
