Fuel Rail
Hello Everyone,
I just replaced the lower intake manifold gasket on my 02 Alero.
I did a complete teardown based off the Haynes manual and was able to put everything back together. When I tried to crank the car up, I found I was spilling gas. With just myself around, it seemed like it was coming from the back right fuel injector. So, to the dealership to get newer orings and upper gaskets.
So I tore down again, really greased the FI orings well, and put everything back together. And I'm still getting a decent leak. So with my wonderful assistant (the wife) cranking the engine, it took a second to see exactly where it's coming from.
It's coming from the fuel inlet line where it goes into the backside of the fuel rail. I took the engine apart yet again (I'm getting pretty good at this, 20 minutes), and looked at the inlet line. It looks like there should be an ORing on there. I don't remember seeing one there.
My Haynes manual doesn't state anything and I can't find anything around the various car parts websites. Am I missing something? Does anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks,
Timothy
