Ok to run with a broken fuel injector?
 
part of the cermaic ring chipped broke on the number 6 fuel injector on my 98.

Is it safe to run or will it leak? will it affect the performance? most of the ring is still there and the o-ring is fine and looks like it will seal...... :?:

I dont want an engine fire

98 injectors have ceramic on them?

Thats probably safe to run with for a little while since it will be in the intake runner but I would stay out of BOOST until you get it replaced.

Yes..however when you remove the rail..make sure you dig it out of the intake pocket.
