    I can't get the damn fuel injectors out of the intake manifold i'm working on a 00 malibu and it's pissing me off. I was taking it off and only one came out with the fuel rail so i'm hoping they all connect back up alright with no problem. Any input will be appreciated. Thanks.

    Sounds like the orings are swollen and hard as rocks. Hopefully you have new orings. Pull hard as you can straight up.

    i saw online a fuel injector removal tool, if i can't get them out i might just tow it down the street and have a garage take them out it should only cost a few buck and save me a big headache.

    Put the fuel rail back on them and then use a pry bar to pop the assembly up.

    Got it all done last week but the girl called me and said that today her car wouldn't start so i went over there and it started off starting fluid and ran ok but it wasn't right. So i turned it off and restarted it about 6-7 times then i left and she called me about 10 min later and said it wouldn't start again. I know it's fuel related and the only thing i did diff than it was was not putting the clips on the injectors where they clip to the fuel rail. Please help if you can. thanks
