Looking for replacement pintle caps for my '91 Camry 3SFE, rather than the expense of replacing the injectors.
Any ideas of where I can find them would be appreciated.
they are known to fall off, thats why they are made of plastic, i have taken injectors out many times and some of them are already gone, as far as i know they dont affect the injector because the motors never skipped
Without the caps, the o-ring seal to the head has a loose fit on the injector. My concern is a possible fuel leak.
Have you installed the injectors without the caps?
Good site, I called them today and they have the caps in stock! Problem is that shipping is > 10X the price via UPS, and they won't ship any other way. I'll keep hunting, and will use RC as a tourniquet. Thanks again for the help.
if the car has alot of miles or been run hot, most of those little caps are gone, down on that end the only thing you might leak is vacuum anyways and i have never had a problem
We don't sell parts but if you have a few miles on them, we clean & flow test injectors for $12 each. This includes o-rings, pintle caps, seals, etc with before/after test data.
Well, I got pintle caps from Lindertech.com, and they are the perfect ones for the 3SFE injectors. Doug was very helpful over the phone, and with a little heat, they went on like butter.
Good stuff, maynerd!
