phase 1 purchase new o-rings
phase 2 remove fuel rail (just a few bolts holding it to manifold)
phase 3 unplug all injectors
phase 4 yank out fuel rail
phase 5 pull injectors that didn't follow the rail
phase 6 remove and replace o-rings on injectors
phase 7 Put fuel rail over small bucket and cycle key a few times to purge any junk that may be in line.
phase 8 put injectors back in rail,
phase 9 put rail back in jeep

thanks for your help

[delverde]

should i clean them and with what

[goodburbon]

not really feasible for you to clean them
just tap them while upside down to make sure they don't have trash in them

Are you shure the leaks are the o rings? Often they will leak between the metal housing and the plastic body. If they are the originals, then this is likely. My 90 had this problem earlier this year. New injectors was a big performance boost.

you're most of the way there already, and 40 bucks at a junkyard gets you a set of mustang/crown vic injectors

[delverde]

yes they are leaking at the metal housing and plastic body they are original do i need to replace the injectors the fuel rail looks wet

[goodburbon]

yes

search a bit first though, and figure out exactly which injectors will work best for you.

If you've got that much fuel leaking, you probably should park that XJ until you get those injectors replaced. There's a couple of guys around here who have lost XJs due to engine fires from leaking injectors.
