OMG i need help with my fuel rail it wont go back in.
I thought it was the pcv elbow thats causing my car too go lean and misfire but once i took everything off and the fuel rail with the injectors I saw that the pcv elbow was fine...Once i attached my injectors to the fuel rail and I was trying to put the fuel rail back on it wont fit..even if i put the injectors back into the engine and tried to position the rail on top of it it still wont fit. I need to figure this out soon because Im going back to school and i dont want to leave my car like that with the cowl vent not attached.

Re: OMG i need help with my fuel rail it wont go back in.
So is it the o-rings that you're having difficulty getting to fit back in to the fuel rail? There is an oil that you should put on the o-rings before reinstalling. If you've been fighting them, it might be in your best interest to replace the o-rings since they could be knicked now. You don't want a fuel leak once you get it all back together. Not that this helps matters, but you didn't need to remove the injectors from the rail to check/replace the PCV elbow. Since there is a single rail and the injectors are installed from both sides at an angle, I'm guessing you'll need to lubricate all the o-rings, get the injectors barely started on both the rail and the manifold, then walk everything in to place.
I don't find anything in the service manual for the V6 that speaks to replacing fuel injectors and what oil to use, but for the V8 the manual says to replace the o-rings and lubricate the new rings with fresh, clean engine oil. -Rod

Re: OMG i need help with my fuel rail it wont go back in.
Its not the O rings. When I try to put the fuel rail back on one side of the fuel rail would fit but the other side that has the other 3 injectors wont go..I was thinking and when i took the fuel rail off they had a black wire clip squeezing only one side of the injectors and i cut em off...maybe i should use a wire and tighten the injector so it can go in the hole?
Because right now its looking like my fuel rail is to big and the injectors wont go in because their above the hole
