I just re-installed the DSM injectors and wired everything up. The car starts and idles smooth, but now I hear loud air coming from the engine bay. The air seems to be coming from or around the fuel rail near the right side. I'm not sure what the heck is going on. Did I install the injectors correctly?

Also, I looked at my exhaust and noticed that a lot of freakin smog is puffing out of the exhaust. Does this mean that there isn't enough fuel going to the engine? Do you think one of the injectors isn't working?

what color is the 'smog'? And, sounds like you might have a vacuum leak in the front.

loud air? That is the coolest way of describing an exhaust leak ever... Recheck your install and see that all of your vacuum lines are installed correctly etc. Did you unbolt any part of your exhaust? And why do you need DSM injectors? Popping a bigger injector in without tuning will make it run WAY rich, you need to get some engine managment, get on a dyno and scale your injectors or at least take out some duty cycle for idle.

I have the car tuned with crome so the ecu is not the problem. It was running fine before. The only bolts/nuts I removed are the three nuts from the fuel rail. I didn't disconnect any lines. I didn't even touch the exhaust. It sounds like the air is coming from one of the tubes, but can't figure out where. But, if that was the case, wouldn't my idle go up? Do you think it's an injector problem? The smog is just clouds of gray smoke.

sounds like a vaccuum leak

I noticed that one of the injector sealant rings were torn up so I think it was that. I replaced it and when I try to turn the car on, I don't hear the fuel pump priming. What happened? Is the fuel pump broken?

SuperSlow

if your fuel pump is broken, your car will not start.

The car does attempt to start, but it doesn't because no fuel is being delivered. Do you think it may be a 60 amp fuse in the engine bay?

That's what I'm going to do, but I can't because I'm not home. I will check when I get home today. If you don't have anything nice or informative to say, please do not post.

Well, I checked all my fuses again and I found the "FIE/M" fuse burnt out. I didn't realize that it was for the fuel pump as well. The car is running perfectly now. The air sound is gone after I replaced all of the sealant rings on the injectors.
