csgoat Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I was getting an intermittent start condition on my 1988 MJ. I had checked most of the wiring, and all of that looks good. I was going through checking my fuel injectors to make sure none of them are clogged when one of the yellow O-Rings decided to jump in to the fuel injector port. Do I need to Remove the Cylinder head to get this out or is there an easier way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOrnbrod Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 This happened to me once. Got it out using a muti-strand flexible 18 gauge wire with a small blob of grease on the end. Dabbed it around inside, caught the o-ring, and fished it out through the port hole using a curved dental pick. Was lucky I guess...........

ParadiseMJ Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Fire it up, maybe it'll fly out. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oddmodman Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Yeah personally, I'd put a breathable 'catcher' - sock, cloth, or mesh - on the business end of a vacuum and try to suck it out. Then, it'll end up in the 'catcher' bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csgoat Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 Thanks for the tips, I ended up just taking off the intake manifold and thankfully the valve was closed and the o-ring was sitting right there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
