[Hey Jami, did you have theses crazy problems as well? Will it ever stop?[/QUOTE]

Amanda you are NOT alone. The first 30 day tag the car sat undrivable for at least 25 days of this and a couple of weeks into my second and final temp. Talk about comming un-glued!

I bought mine from a friend of my on site manager. I even made him and the seller come to work and tear it apart in the parking lot and fix it....Made it home to find gas pouring out every where....

Will this ever end....YES it will but please until then keep a bandanna or hat on your head, other wise you will have these bald spots where you pulled it all out.

Did you miss a bolt or not get a bolt or two tight?
Did all lines get put back on? I know more stupid questions...

Like I said Amanda I had so much down time just because hoses and clamps did not play together well.

One thing you can do if you tear it back down again. Remove the two pieces of metal line that run from where you drew the circle to the rubber lines that connect them to the fuel rail....Inspect them good and run some air through them with one end covered and see if there is a leak in these lines.....

Again it could be o-rings on the injectors or a cracked injector or even the hoses you just fixed.

This is why I hated my car at first......I never really had a chance to drive her before my nightmare began....
Just hang in there Amanda!! YOU will see this all end in a positive note...YOU WILL!!
Jami
