I keep having fuel leaks at my fuel injector seals 2 and 3, i replaced seals on all 4 injectors, and 2 and 3 are good for about a day or 2 with no leaks and then they start leaking, i go and get another fuel injector seal kit, i try it again for the second time, works for a little bit and then starts leaking the next few days, I go for a third time and buy the cheap *** seals, works fine another few days, starts leaking again!!! anyone having a problem with crappy fuel injector seal kit. I got them from the dealer and they told me to just replace 2 and 3 injector and i'm like why? and they told me that the injector themself that can be so badly worn and beat, that the injector wont sit right or something, is that true?

Id check to make sure the fuel rail is bolted down all the way, that the bolts that do bolt it down arent stripped. If so, time for a tap and die.

I can't remember if it was this site or the FAQ on 240sx.org, but someone had the same problem buying the factory seals, said bump it went to lowes and bought some seals that matched the diameter. Said he never had a problem again.

now that you mention it... the left bolt for the fuel rail is scewing.. it doesn't get tight all the way.. i mean it gets tight, but doesn't get tight-tight like the other bolt does.. i can get the left bolt some-what tight but not as much tight as the other fuel rail bolt. so maybe that's the p roblem then. i guess it has to be really super tight. lol i tried to get it tighter cuz it still felt kinda loose. but when i tried it could feel it not improving any.
