Injector Clip Vfaq, installing injector clip 'staples' easy Options

[xian 1g]

Tonight I was working on a car, and came to the point where it was time to put the injector clips back on. Well, tonight I found a simple six second installation method that will leave the hair on your head, the beer in the fridge, and the screw driver out of the wall.

Now, we all no what a piss poor job the mitsu God's did designing the little injector clip 'staples' that hold the injector clips onto the injectors.

These little f.u.c.k.e.r.s sometimes go in easily (well, never for me, but i've heard others say that sometimes they do), or they can be as painfull as a night with the bloomington IDB initiation club.

Untill tonight my solution was broken clips or just asking people to kindly not smoke next to my car when it was idling due to the massive amounts of fuel being sprayed out.

You will need:
2 needle nose pliers
one hand
and 2 minutes for all 4

Allright, this is your starting point:




Begin by inserting one of the needle nose pliers into the inside of the clip, with the pliers opening width wise of the clip. Fit the tips of the pliers in between the center console and the plastic outer edge.

Here is a pic that does better than my description:




T.B.A. - do to scripts and functions of this board I can only post so many pics per reply...

good info xian...

My problem was never reinstalling the clips, but trying to remove them without breaking the old brittle plastic. After many attempts I finally found that H o n d a / A c u r a injector clips fit perfectly and have a MUCH better clip design. They are easy to splice into the wire harness and you don't ever have to worry about your injector connectors coming loose again.
