I have done a search on everything I can think of in relation to this problem, sorry if this is an old question. Two of my fuel injectors are leaking (quite a bit actually) up around the rail, I now have the replacement rings, I know how to depressurize the fuel system (turn the car on and unplug the fuel pump fuse,) beyond that, I'm not too sure how to handle this. I have an 89, stock everything. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm coming home for the weekend and it'll be the only time I get to work on it until thanksgiving. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think I have leaking injectors also, I just need a fuel pressure gauge so I can tell which one the pressure drop is on. I have a hand held tester. I think you just loosen the injector cap screws with a good screwdriver because they are a little tight. After that I been told to use a little bit of either a silcone spray or motor oil on the O-Rings and then make sure you insert then straight in to avoid damaging the seals. Good Luck!

Do you by any chance know where to get a good fuel pressure gauge?

I'm not sure where to find a gauge, my injectors are dripping (like I said, pretty bad.) Thanks for your help, hopefully I'll have this done by tuesday.

If you can find out the pressure drop on one of your good fuel injectors I would like to know, since your about to replace your fuel injector seals or have already done so. I'm not sure if mine are within spec or not. Thanx.
