I need to try and figure out if I can buy just the little plastic piece that sits underneath where the bottom seal on the injector goes. One of my injectors has a bad crack in it and is leaking. I took it off the injector easily but Mitsubishi parts says its not serviceable separately. In the pic its the yellowish piece at the bottom of the picture.

 

This hasn't happened to anyone before?

 

Call any injector service company and they can sell you pintle caps.

 

Thanks once I found out the right verbage for them they were easy to find online and cost 52 cents.

 

Glad to help!

 

Where'd you get them at? I can't find them online.

 

NM, I found it here. http://injector-rehab.com/shop/searc...=search&page=1

 

Wow! Wish I would have known those things were replaceable. I had one break on me a year or two ago and ended up selling the injectors real cheap cuz I didn't know it could be fixed. Oh well... Live and learn.

 

^ I was taking pics of mine to sell them and decided I could spring for new caps before selling them. I don't know if I'll get my money back for investing in new caps

 

Out of curiosity, what were the symptoms of this, was it leaking fuel or just causing a boost leak?

If leaking fuel, was it just when the car was running or was it pooling on the valve and leaking through onto the piston with the car off? I have a leaky one I've yet to address and was curious in case I can just call up FIC and order the cap.

 

I didn't notice any problems except I was running out of injector. So I upgraded injectors and that's when I noticed the cracks. I did a search on Google and it is very common.

 

I didn't notice any problems either. I only noticed it when I went tried swapping injectors.
