I just had a friggin horrible night.
I am stuck in Tucson (3 1/2hrs away from home)...working on car in the dark with my lighter for a light source. What's even worse is I was working w/ the fuel rail and IM and could not get the lighter TOO close. Haha.
anyway, Imma be up all night figuring this shit out.
dmitry, you don't count....your not an insomniac. LOL.

car was idling super high because fuel injectors were not sealed properly.
I re-placed fuel injectors with new o-rings (w/o the caps on the tip). because a friend had done it like this on his RD2. I guess on the RD1's you have to have those little caps because the o-rings and plastic rings fell into the cylinders. mad.gif
and once they did it allowed air to enter the cylinders not read by MAF. So car idling all whacky.
I went to fix it and realized the damn o-rings were in the cylinder head not on the tips of the injectors.
So, I probably have burnt rubber/plastic goo all over the insides of my cylinder walla now. mad.gif
when I went to place fuel rail back on, one of the two bolts snapped in half and now I can't get that already screwed in half out of the intake manifold. So the fuel rail is held on by zip ties now and I have no clue how to get that damn broken half of the bolt out (it's already screwed in).
I was hand cranking the bolt in, htf do you over-torque a bolt with your own hands? ugh...
anyway, this can all be fixed when I get the phenolic spacers, because then I can install the airram and just get two new bolts for the fuel rail (instead of trying to remove that broken half of the bolt out of the IM.
ha, I'm done with typing and off to bed. c-ya guys.
