stoney88mj Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 anyone know where i can find a fuel injector retaining clip? i'm an idiot and lost one of mine in the process of swapping 5.o injectors in. i'm finding conflicting info about a bmw/vw clip working.
onlyinajeep726 Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Junkyard. Any of the 4.0 injector clips will work. As well as any off of a Neon/Stratus/Cirrus etc.
stoney88mj Posted February 23, 2014 Author Posted February 23, 2014 i don't mind junkyard diving for it but i'll be getting snow again next weekend so I'm not sure they will be open. stupid pissed off at myself at the moment. the local parts store(napa and the best chance at finding one around me) couldn't find a part# for any 4.o clip.
onlyinajeep726 Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Well, to be honest, you can run without it for a bit if the O-rings are new and snug. When I did the Ford 710's (yellow stick injectors), I couldn't run clips because they aren't designed to use clips. They never once leaked or caused me issues. Believe me, I checked every chance I had because the main reason for swapping them was because the stock Siemens injectors were leaking gas onto the exhaust manifold and I was afraid of a fire with my daughter in the car... Ran the 710's for almost 2 years with no problem.
stoney88mj Posted February 23, 2014 Author Posted February 23, 2014 i tried that. primed the pump and got zero leaks. turned her over and she sprayed fuel like no ones business
ride172 Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Where do you live stoney? I have eight extras from the neon fuel rails I got my injectors from.
