Dumb question. The plastic tip on my new precision injectors.
Does it stay on or pop off before install?

Are you talking about the plastic ring at the cylinder end of the injector that holds the rubber o-ring on? If so then yes it stays on.

There is a blue plastic tip at the nozzle end you can see the needle tip of the injector at the very tip. My initial thought was that it was a shipping tip, but its on pretty secure.
I have them in still, seems odd to have plastic in there??
New concern now is that the retainer clip groove in the new injectors doesn't allow the injector to seat as far into the fuel rail as the old ones.
I am a little frustrated, I was anticipating a quick swap.....should have known better.

Stock one from my 96 had a small metal end, replacement Bosch from 5o motorsports had the plastic end.
A good cleaning of the bore with a .45cal bore brush and they fit fine...

The plastic tips are part of the new injectors, leave them on.
I think I had that problem top side with the clips, so I just left the clips off IIRC, as the fuel rail is bolted down anyway, so the clips are not needed unless you pressurize the fuel rail unmounted and uninstalled.

Just installed new injectors in son's MJ yesterday, i was wondering about the caps too. I left them in and it runs just fine.
The retaining clips do pull the injector out of the intake a tad but we have experienced no leaking.

I couldn't tell if the blue plastic tips were part of the injectors or just a shipping cap. I decided to leave them on since they appeared to be part of the injector.
Regarding this information I have no answer.

BIG PROBLEM: I am getting quick starts/rough starts and jumpy starts after it sits for a bit.

Sometimes the injector plugs don't seat well on the injectors. Give 'em all a little nudge while you're at it. Got the color codes for the injector wiring?
I had this problem with one of my injectors. I removed the connector and tightened up the female spade terminals now no more problem every time I work under the hood.

This information is just in case you mixed up the correct order of the wiring when installing the clips it is easy to do.
