So i was driving, not smashing on it, but i smelled gas in the car, so when i stopped to the car to check, i saw the gas slowly pouring out of that spot below. To me, it seemed like that bolt was not tight enough. So when i got home to tighten it, the bolt doesn't loosen up or tighten, it just turns and doesn't go anywhere.

How the hell do i get it out?

 

There shouldn't be leaking involve because that part you circle is just the mounting for the rail. Check around that area for injector seals, or that big banjo( fuel line) fitting.

 

Definitely injector seals or Fuel rail crush washer.

 

It's probably an injector seal, an o-ring that goes on the fuel rail side of the injectors. Have you removed the rail and injectors recently? That "bolt you're talking about is actually a nut, your're going to have to break it off. There's a toll for that but I don't know the name of it.

 

yes i've taken it off recently. Alright ii'll try to break it off. I think i'm just gona go to the junk yard and find me some injectors. I don't know why its even leakin from that spot because it shouldn't. If i can, i post a video for you guys of how it leaks with the car on. I jsut dont want the leak to get worse and then the gas BLOW UP. haha

 

that nut wont come off!!!!!!! any help on how to remove it?

 

??

 

Get one of these at Sears.

I mentioned this before.

 

how much is it at sears? i think i might jsut get it.

 

if you found out it's your seals. i've been hearing about people's injector seals being eaten away from the ethanol contain in the gas. hopefully you get the fixed good luck

 

thanks. SEARS doesn't have the "nut breaker" lol tool so i have to try like lowes or home Depot. -_- yeah i'm trying to drive it as little as i can until i get it fixed. i'm gonago to the junkyard to grab few injectors today. the whole car smells like gas. -_-

 

your o-rings are bad and you should look into replacing your nuts on the fuel rail so it doesn't get loose.

 

yeah, i'm gona replace all 3 nuts that hold the fuel rail to the I/M. Nothing else is Leaking BESIDES that spot i pointed out above.

 

I just went through this same thing last week. I replaced the studs, nuts "GIGITY", and the O-Rings. This fixed my problem. I got the studs and nuts at a salvage yard. To get the studs off I locked two nuts together "tightened them onto each other" while on the stud, the studs backed out fairly easily. The O-Rings were the main problem. At first I just replaced one. A day later, after assembly and driving around, I got a leak on another Injector. So I ended up having to replace all four O-Rings. When you reassemble every thing put the injectors in to the fuel rail first and give them a SLIGHT TWIST, they will seat easier and be less likely to damage the new O-Rings. I hope that this can help. Good luck

 

if there is smoke coming from my injectors, thats bad huh? haha i'm guessing i have one bad injector.

 

If you see smoke your best bet its not not run the car at all. Get a ride to scrap yards if you can. That nut seems to be cross threaded so use a dremel if you have one and weaken it.. then break it off. GL

 

i dont have a dremel. that nut wont come off and its pissing me off.

 

Try to chisel the nut off from around the bolt. Go from the top of the nut in a circle. If you take your time it will come off

 

THis can create a spark...don't do this! Use a vise grip pliers, and just keep turning it, if that nut wont come lose the stud that it sit on will...so just keep trying, this was because you over torqued it last time you worked on it, and more then likely you don't need new injectors just O rings...Go to a Napa, they also keep a good stock there, take an injector with you, to be able to compare, as they come in many different sizes.

 

In that case soak everything back there with water

 

hmm, i'll try to chisel it off. i wipe it everyday so theres no gas.

 

All you need is a slight hint of fumes and your car is toast................go buy the proper tool.

 

i can't find that nut breaker tool "ahcapone" told me about. its not at sears. i called aorund to home depot and stuff and they dont have it either. -_-

 

Print the picture and take it to Sears, it's Craftsman so they should have it. If not, try an auto parts store and look for it, asking doesn't help at parts stores most of the time. Or you can drill out the stud. Mark the center and drill it with a bit a little smaller than the stud. Go down to about where the nut ends and yu should be ablr to break it off with some pliers. Don't too far down so you can take the stud out with some locking pliers.

 

i think i'm gona try to break it off. i dont wanna drill. i'll letchu guys know the results. i'm gona work on it this weekend.
