I'm having fuel trouble

So, I had recently tried swapping out my fuel injectors. Rookie mistake was that I ordered cheap ones, so I'm working on getting legit OEM ones installed later. Now, as I got back into tearing my truck apart again I noticed that the fuel line that connects to the fuel rail looked somewhat disconnected. Is it supposed to look like this? Could this be affecting my fuel pressure?

 

UPDATE: From the videos I've seen just now, it looks to be normal. Fuel Injectors are the issue.

 

What do you mean by somewhat disconnected? That fuel line banjo fitting should be fastened to the fuel rail.

 

I was worried about the bottom end of the fuel line banjo fitting where it meets the rubber tube, that's all.

 

Things that will affect fp are pump and filter mostly. Have you checked your filter?

 

I

I have engine knock, ticking, rough idle, lean fuel. Its probably just bad injectors. I swapped my filter out last year, pump looked fine last I checked.

 

Have you checked the pressure?

Try clean your maf sensor too.

I did same thing as you
Bought cheap fleabay injectors
Kept throwing P0172(#1 cause was injector blockage per engine codes.com)
I DID save my old leaky OEM injectors
After searching
Sent bad OE ones to Motorwest in CA
$125 and 6dys later got the RM injectors back
Installed
No issues…..No codes….No hesitation

does RM stand for remanufactured? I just got some remanufactured injectors via RockAuto and I installed them. Still getting short trim +-20. I might just have to buy the expensive OEM brand new because these aren't even working still. I sense that there's a specific spec that they must be in and so it has to be OEM. omg I hate this.

 

The fuel line does look like it has slide down the fitting... if you can, feel how much of the fitting is sticking into the fuel line. You might have to use some pliers to put a little squeeze on the line to see where the fitting ends.

 

Yes RM = remanufactured

last I checked, 1 OE injector was $267

I would definitely at least call Motorwest
Guys that answer phones super cool/helpful
In fact, one of mine old OE ones was beyond repair, only charged me $15 for a core. Possible if you don’t have your original bad OE injectors, would just have to pay for cores/injector RM

I just purchased some $170 a pop. There goes my summer expenses.

 

EWE^^^^
Hopefully if you show RA fuel trims they could refund/credit at least

 

I just installed OEM injectors. I got a better short fuel trim reading, but its still fading away from 0 the longer I have the truck running with small rough idle and as I hit the gas in park it makes a ticking sound. You think it could be a bad spark plug that's not igniting the fuel?

 

Need an OBD2 code to trend u in right direction

if you got Parts Cannon loaded, front O2 sensor is a guess without a code

 

What about the fuel pressure regulator?

 

Really confused why you did this... A simple search here would have yielded an untold number of members here who swear by the Denso injectors sold by motorwest for FAR less than $170 a pop. I would seriously consider returning the injectors you bought get the dense/motorwest set.

 

Unfortunately he said he bought them from Rock Auto (1st mistake, or 2nd if you count not searching on here for where to source) and Rock Auto takes no returns in my experience.
