    You'll have to replace the lower o rings. Best bet to replace both upper and lower of course just for insurance.

    When you put it all back together though use some kind of lubricant to get them to slide in whether it be silicone spray or grease. Silicone is what I use especially if the seals are rubber because petroleum products will eat the rubber over time. So don't use engine oil to lube them up.
    They'll never sit properly if they're dry.

    Alright ill give it another try when I'm off. Also does that seem right that it would bubble if there where a leak there. My ltfts changed from 16.4 to 11.1 and back up when I sprayed around.

    Computer is probably just trying to relearn all of the trims now that you reset everything.

    O well it still shows 16.4 though. I sprayed carb cleaner on my injector and got it down to 3 but it goes right back up

    Any ideas on why its going from -3.2 while driving then 16.4 while idle. I think its something with the injectors cause when I spray it'll go down to 4 at idle but I've tried changing o rings and nothing

    So I changed my uim gasket and put new oil on the super. When I fired it up it smoked like crazy then quit. My car now runs rich -22 when cruising and still lean sometimes but not as bad. If I give it some gas it goes to zero. What could cause it to do this I only changed that one gasket. Could it be my maf sensor cause when I unplugged it car ran the same. Please help.

    After a little while the ltfts drop down to like 12 at idle. Also blower oil seems to be leaking but its not leaking out where it can be seen.
