Injector part question

Shemp · Post by **Shemp** » 10 Oct 2011, 11:01

Hello, over the weekend I changed the pcv system, I removed the fuel while taking things apart, in doing so it looks like the little bits at the end of the injector broke off a few. These bits are at each end of the injector, and the o-ring sits behind it. The dealer has nothing like that, so I'm wondering if its okay to use the injectors without the little end pieces, or is it necessary to keep it working right and I need to get a new injecor. I attached a photo to show what is broken/missing.
Thanks
Kevin

Its part of the injector and you can't get it by itself. When I pulled my injectors the little wafer things fell off mine as well, just put new seals on them and so far no problem.

Thank you for that info, at least now I know I won't set the car on fire from a leaking injector.

If you hit the junkyard you can find that piece on any number of cars produced in the late 90s or and early 00s. Just off the top of my head:
oval head light ford taurus with 24v engine
first gen Neons
Cadillac Catera
Saab 900 V6
Ford modular V8
Ford Escort
the list goes on and on. The injectors you have are called EV6 with an EV1 connector. These Bosch injectors were universal and interchangable betwen dozens of different types of cars. The little pintle cap (thats what its called) can be removed with some small wire cutters by gently prying it off between the O ring and cap. Practice pulling it off at the JY and you can walk away with a dozen. They will pop right onto your existing injectors.
