On first look, looks like it went in hard the last time it was installed? Looks crushed physically. Were all th injectors on the rail last time you put them in? Then tightened the rail/them down into the head?

yeah they were all on the rail, then I pushed them onto the head. You're right, that might have been what happened. Can't blame anyone but myself :(

Thats poop! Hopefully that fixes the main issue. At least compression is nice and normal across the board.

Thanks for letting me borrow an injector Shane! I'm going to test it out and see how the car runs with this spare injector.

Also it appears the black plastic cap is the only thing that is damaged, so maybe I can just get a new cap from PTE or something.

Well Shane's injector is installed, and the car is idling much better than before. I revved it up a bunch of times and don't hear any odd sounds. I'm going to drive her to work tomorrow and see if I notice anything.

And I'm going to try and aquire a new plastic cap for the injector. I think that's all I need.

You man beast take it easy on those little injectors next time.
You should destroy that mustang when you are ready.

Drove the car to and from work today. It's idling better than it has all year, go figure :) Still not a perfect idle, but that might be asking for too much with these sloppy injectors.

Did a couple 2nd and 3rd gear rippers, and it pulls like a (for lack of a better term) raped ape! It misses a little bit sometimes, but it's a tiny miss that seems to hardly affect a thing. I ordered up some OEM plug wires from Brookdale Mitsu. I'm going to see if those cure that.

Called up PTE and asked them about getting a new plastic tip. They are throwing one in an envelope and sending me one free of charge :) So should be here soon, and I can return this injector to Shane asap!

I'd still like to borrow some smaller injectors sometime though from someone. I want to see if the car idles better on smaller injectors, just to be completely sure that most of my idle issues are due to my injectors.
