So i have the head together and the manifold but trying to put fuel injectors back into car and everytime i think i have it it leaks fuel like crazy. Leaking through the one that the clip popped off. Thought I had it on correctly. Not sure what the problem can be to put the clip on so I have started to pull the injectors off my parts car. Not sure if they will be easier to put the clips on to but will keep working at it.

Any Suggestions on the fuel injection and install of the clips?

Thanks

Well I don’t have an angle torque. Whats the total torque on these bolts without using the angle torque. If i torqued these head bolts to 50 lbs will that be enough.

Well I have a torque wrench but not sure what you mean by this couple of torque wrenches and a torque angle tool.

Please explain.

So today I started pulling the intake manifold off to replace the gaskets and stuff to try to solve this problem of a small antifreeze leak. After trying everything else for the last month or so i finally figured its the only option left to try. So today I pulled it all apart and figured out where the problem was it was the intake manifold as there was a bit of milky puke stuff on one corner of the manifold. I then figured if I am this far i should look at the head gasket too. The head gaskets looked really good didn’t find any leaks or signs of leaks. So now tomorrow is the day I put it all back together to make sure that was the issue all this time.

My question to you guys is at what temp should the electric fans start up in this 2000 Pontiac grand am V6?

Thanks

Honestly I dont think it was the rad. I had another rad here had the same markings what i thought were cracks. But i cleaned it all up and blew the rad out and the shit that came out of it surprized me. I replaced the top rad hose and clamps from hose clamps to the actual rad clamps ( not sure if the hose clamps were part of the problem) Guess will run it for a few days and see if the problem arises again.

So I pulled the radiator today and looked at it as it was a little wet on the driver side. I think the leak is coming from the radiator hose as it was hose clamped on not the original radiator clamp. I think there is a bit of a crack in the bottom radiator but not sure if its leaking. Crack right at the bottom of rad at the mounting bracket.

Having problems adding a picture.

I was looking at other stuff online and I want to know what my Mass Air Flow sensor looks like in the 2.4. Have seen lots on the 3.4 L but they are totally different.
