30legacyl Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Hello everyone. I solved the '99 Legacy 2.2L misfire by replacing a faulty injector. Worked for a day and a half until the o-rings on the old injector started to leak. I ordered 2 sets of replacement o-rings from Amazon, (GB Remanufacturing) then installed tonight. Now BOTH are leaking. Soaked them in light oil before installing them.... IS there a trick to getting the injectors to seal up on a 2.2L California Emissions car (EJ22 Phase 2) engine? REALLY frustrated now, & not excited about trying to recreate the flaming car scene from "CHRISTINE"....... Wishing this car had the 'capped' injector setup as shown in the Haynes Subaru manual I have. Please help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30legacyl Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 Took the third set (my emergency stock of 'backups') of o rings (Beck Arney(sp?)) I had delivered, pulled the smaller pair of plain o rings & put on the top of both #2 & #4 injectors & reassembled. No leak in the driveway, but haven't driven yet & not taking it 80 miles to work & back w/ the kid tomorrow..... so we'll see how it goes over the weekend with a few heat & cool cycles of local driving......

spooln30 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I usually just apply a little grease to the orings and push the injector in. If they still leak I would clean up the rail where they go with some fine grit emery cloth then spray carb spray to clean it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
