That connector has no fuel in it. Disconnect it and look at the injector body itself. Or the O-ring where the injector mates to the fuel rail.

Ok. I disconnected the connector, etc. I could see no obvious signs of leaks so I pressurized the fuel line (ignition switch) and then I could see gas slowly puddling in the connector socket. I'm guessing the pressure is enough to eventually pop out the rubber wire plug. Pretty scary. So I guess the injector body needs replacing. Is this a difficult task?

You have a bad fuel injector. Replace it and possibly the connector as well. Get this from a wrecker and splice in. The injector from a wrecker as well. Get yourself a couple spares.

Hook up with Echo SSEi for good wreckers in your area.

Also, go to the dealer and order a $20 fuel injector o-ring kit and replace all o-rings (12 of them total, two on each injector).

Thanks! I think I have conversed with Echo in the past.

I have one more question though:

I've been reading some old posts on injectors and there is talk of specific injectors for specific cylinders in some cases. Something about the electronics involved. Is this true for a 93 SSE?

No. You use the same fuel injector as every other L27 out there from 92-94. Up to 95 in non-bonneville applications (pontiac transport for example) and some 91'* (Buick/Olds) that came out with them a year earlier than the bonneville.

Excelent pictures there.

Wild, gas coming out the wire connector.

That'* what I thought he was talking about in the first post...

OK, I've got the fuel rail with the injectors still attached off the engine. Question: once I remove the injector retainer clip at the rail, do the injectors just pull off? There seems to be a fair amount of resistance and I don't want to break anything. Better safe than sorry. Also, what'* the best way to clean the good ones?

Thanks!

Update: I figured out that I just had to pull harder on the injectors once I looked at my new replacement one. They eventually popped out.

I just finished test driving the car after I put it all back together and it seems to run as well as it used to. That'* a good thing I guess. I still think it is a bit lackluster in acceleration but I'll leave that for another day'* project.

One kind of funny thing: I put the car back in the garage after the test drive and was a bit depressed when I smelled a bit of gas again. Turns out I had vented the fuel system by loosening the gas cap and forgot to tighten it! Hee hee!

Thanks for all the input, folks!

Did you replace the injector and all the o-rings?
