Default CFI injector dripping

ok well i was about to fire up my car for the first time since all my work and noticed that the injector (drivers side) drips when the key is on. im wondering if when my dad hot tanked the top plate w/throttle bodies if that messed anything up.


so if anything i might need to try to find a new injector or throttle body.

any suggestions?

If you hot tanked the injectors too then they may be damaged. Check the O rings first.

I don't know much about CFI, but if those two injectors work the same as the MFI, then I'd say your injector is hosed up and will need replacing. I wouldn't think the throttle body would have any impact on that.

I could also be completely wrong since I'm trying to put MFI knowledge on CFI which I will openly admit to knowing nothing about.

By reading the title, I thought maybe CFI-EFI got an STD.
