prevented a disaster

I was running my car today and decided to open the hood and check on my intermittent gas leak and noticed not only is my gas leak still there but one of my wires is arching slightly on one of the injectors. Im just glad i noticed it early before disaster struck and my car burned up. Im gonna order the linsey mag wires later and try to get a fuel damper somewhere.

Bet it's the rail thats leaking not the damper. Could also be the high pressure delivery hose and fittings.

Never, never, never drive one of these cars with any hint of a fuel leak.

its the hose that goes from the rail to the damper, but the damper also leaks into vacuum

"intermittent gas leak"

you know something's wrong and you still drive it, you're gonna hear sirens before long.
