I might be pulling the fuel injectors off of my car this weekend if necessary. Should I do a how-to? It will be my first time, but I'll take pics and maybe it will help someone one day. Unless somebody has done it before and can already make a how-to...for someone like me... :idunno:

i think it would be great to have a how to thread on that and hope everything goes good for you - if you need a how to manual you can give a pm shout to cars01010 and I'm sure he can email it to you

I may just dive in head-first and see if I can figure it out on the fly. Shouldn't be too difficult, I've just never done it before.

I've done injectors before not on a thirdgen but their not too bad. You should be able to change them without a problem! Take pictures and post em up!

Well I got a good start on the pulling the fuel injectors. But I need a set of needle nose pliers that are very thin, but relatively long. I broke one of the clips that locks the injector into the fuel rail trying to use my needle nose pliers that wouldn't really fit under there. I didn't get very far with the injectors because I ended up having to disassemble the TPI again just be able to unbolt the fuel rails. So my motor kinda looks like it did when I took the pics I have in my photo album when there was no plenum behind the throttle body. I ohm'd 3 of the injectors so far and they all appear to ok showing 16 ohms resistance which I believe is in the range of normal. The one injector I pulled off had no build-up of any kind on it so I'm guessing they're all going to be ok. but none-the-less I'll go ahead and pull them all and visually inspect them and ohm them out. While I've got them off I have to figure out if I'm gonna put them back on or upgrade to 21 or 24 lb./hr. injectors. At the very least I need to replace the upper and lower o-rings and get a new set of upper clips for them. I noticed the passenger side had a different set of lower clips on them from the driver's side. So I'm not sure what happened there. I also changed the fuel filter yesterday and saw what looked like the original filter even though I thought I had changed it before. But I guess not. I've been taking pics of everything and trying to remember wrench and ratchet sizes so I can post how-to's for the stuff I'm doing. Hopefully what I'm doing now will help someone in the future. The fuel filter change how-to will be up in the next day or 2. I'm going to a car show next weekend so the Camaro will be on hold for a week. But my dad gave me his old dremel. So I will also be doing a how-to on porting a TPI plenum. :bates:

:thumbsup: really hope things go good for you on this build and everything works out - enjoy and have a good time and break at the car show, bring back some pics if you can :D:rockon:

Without a doubt Tom, I take pics every year. I'll be taking pics of every thirdgen and Dodge I come across. :)

Sounds like you are getting some work done on that old motor! I love to hear that your being optimistic and hopefully you will have the pleasure of hearing it fire up and pure again! If you need any help or have any questions post em let us know and some of us may be able to help!

Oh and we are expecting pictures from any car show that you are going to!

Yeah I'm gonna have pics for sure. And there is usually a burn-out contest and celebs, so I should have some interesting pics.
