Testing for leaking injectors
Hey guys, I already pulled the fuel rail and put paper under the injectors to see if any are leaking. Problem I'm having is I can't conect the fuel injector connectors to the injectors. Not enough slack. Any help is appreciated. 93 LT1

If I force it, it feels like it will break. I put the key in accessory mode, and saw a small gas leak on one of my papers. I put my finger under every injector, and felt fuel on 3 of them. But I was moving the fuel rail. Not sure if they leaked because of me moving the fuel rail. Sorry, I'm a novice to all this stuff.

the main wiring harnes CAN't break,just pull it a little ,you need no more than 2 inches,i'm a TPI guy,but the wiring harnes it's usually free in that position,may be a little bracket somewhere.plug the injectors,turn the key and prime the system,put shop towels under there...have a fire extinguisher handy ( as a preventative measure,don't be scared).

Why bother? Send it off for testing. Lets say it isn't leaking but has a collapsed basket filter like one I had. How would you know? This is exactly why I send mine off every few years. Further to that, stock Multecs are the first thing I would toss in the trash. Without a flow bench, how will you know if the injector is having good spray pattern and similar flow numbers to the rest?

Anyone tried their Bosch 4 injectors? Just curious. Again, will call him tomorrow and ask questions. Just wanted to ask the forum members.
