You really need to avoid scoring them! This might have ruined your injector, causing leaks where the hose should seal.

Witchunter replaces the pintle caps, where you are showing the crack.

You might want to hold 400 paper between fingers in one hand and twist the injector (metal end) in it to clean it up a bit. Hopefully you haven't scored them too deeply.

Nothing says redneck like eau de fuel in the living area! We might be cousins!

Oh ok thanks guys. Got em all cleaned up and packaged now.

I hope they aren't ruined.. What causes that scoring riber.bentsen?

riber.bentsen 03-18-2013 12:02 PM

Well, I'm guessing whatever tool you used to get the hoseclamps/hoses off?

camo 03-18-2013 12:08 PM

Oh ok. I didn't do it so I don't know what he used to get then off

MPDano 03-18-2013 12:34 PM

If it's an issue, Witchhunter will tell you. Send 'em!

camo 03-18-2013 01:02 PM

They're on their way! Well, as soon as I get to the post office.. Gotta have my parents take me. My car doesn't run so well without injectors..

camo 03-31-2013 09:40 PM

Injectors are on their way back! Should be here tomorrow-ish, maybe Tuesday, they said they cleaned up well and had no issues. Should be up and running Wednesday at the latest and I CANNOT wait to drive it to school again! I cleaned my injectors, replaced the mass air flow sensor O-ring (it was completely flat on one side with dirt in the MAF sensor, probably a big reason why it was running slightly rough and getting 9 MPG), cleaned MAF, replaced injector connectors, replaced plugs, and ran out of money. And I'm done working on her for a while :D
Just gotta fix my sunroof (still) and oil leak.....



By the way, that severed brake sensor thing was what was causing my "Brake pr. (!)"light to come on. replacing that fixed the issue. Now the only light left is my "tail lamp"light..


P.S.
Sorry about all the confusion MPDano, now I understand what was going on ;) thanks for the help!

riber.bentsen 04-01-2013 06:12 AM

If both taillights are working, and you still get the warning, it might be because you have a 5W bulb in one side, and a 10W bulb in the other. The system works by measuring the difference in resistance side-to-side, you see :)

camo 04-01-2013 09:27 AM

Thanks riber.bentsen
I actually read that a while back so I replaced all my bulbs and the light is still on..

Landseer 04-01-2013 09:30 AM

You have to use the correct light bulbs osram / porsche bulbs for the car.
Reason is that the 1156 bulbs are too long for stoplights and will melt / burn the difuser on the inside of the lense. Lots of places call them the equivalent, but they aren't. Not your main issue, but may be your next question.

camo 04-01-2013 09:42 AM

OOOh.. I bought mine at NAPA.. can you get em here on pelicanparts?

Landseer 04-01-2013 03:31 PM

I use 928sRus or international. Pelican is a 911 specialist, but you can try.

camo 04-01-2013 05:11 PM

Ok, doesnt look like they have em here. I'll check those sites, thanks Landseer

camo 04-09-2013 12:20 PM

Can anyone please tell me what these things are? It is somewhat urgent. The hose is not attached to anything and we cannot figure out what the other thing is either. It is coming off of the smog pump. Thanks :)

The hose goes into the underside of the air filter box. It's part of the air pump system. That's the diverter valve.

camo 04-09-2013 12:44 PM

Thank you so much! I got everything put back together and I'm having a few issues. Its idling VERY rough and won't continue running if I don't keep it revved. I think I know what's going on now. :)

Mrmerlin 04-09-2013 12:54 PM

FWIW if your having a tail lamp issue,
then also clean and replace the side marker lights,
Do all 4 of them,
its quite common for the rear lights to work and still have an issue ,
as one of the side markers will throw off the balance in the system

camo 04-09-2013 02:19 PM

Thanks mrmerlin, ill do that.

So, are you sure about that hose going to the air filter box? Because there is a hose right next to the one I'm talking about that goes to the air filter box, and there is nowhere else on the air filter box for a hose to go. The hose I'm talking about comes directly off of the divergence valve.
When we start it up the hose has a vacuum so I guess it makes sense that it goes to the AFB but there is nowhere for it to go.

camo 04-09-2013 02:29 PM

I know that this hose goes to the air filter box.
