hi guys,hope your holidays are going good. i need some help on o-rings for my fuel injectors. i called ford and they said they are not available. only way to get them is to buy a fuel injector..lol..i have new injectors in my 86 cougar with the 3.8 engine. i suspect one o-ring may be crimped from improper installation..i have too much gas going into the throttle body...making a little rough on the idle. so my question is ...does anyone know where to purchase 0-rings for these cats? i appreciate any help...thanks in advance
if you cant find the right ones from Ford, maybe find out what the o rings are made of (nitrile i think) and match them up at the hardware store or a tool supply house like J&L Industrial Tools
NAPA should have "kits" as should most good parts stores.
You used to be able to buy packets of o-rings at Motorcraft dealers too.
i did call napa and they said no deal....i did'nt ask them about any kits. but i will call them in the morning and ask.
Auto zone carries them in stock here there like 9.00 for all of them
kool. ok, on the injector note, on my 4 banger i can not get the injectorS to stop leaking ! :mad: i have new o rings and have ajusted the rail several times. is there a trick or are the famous for doin this? should i just get a new/diffrent rail? thanks :locked: - that looked funny, thought i would use it
It's possible the injector bodies themselves are leaking. It happens.
You might need to swap injectors.
make sure you use wd40 to seet the injectors. i've torn injector 0 rings just craming them in there.
get me the number off the side of your injector and Ill get ya the rebuild kits, I work at NAPA, and I do the check/flow/cleaning of the injectors there....
ok thanks, i would like to get another intake anyway, so i will just get it with rails . thank goodness for the junkyard with cars where they shouldnt be ;)
thanks bogus...the number on the side is d1820ba..thanks for your help
-what's up with some of these moron parts people out there. seems like they must be rich and dont need any money. i like to sell parts myself. my kids like to eat. so do i. the ford part# is fopz-9229-a, or motorcraft part#cm4717. this pack has a total of 10 o rings in it....:screwy:
hope this helps....

thanks shorangerbird..i'll call tomorrow and see if anyone has them.
update....the mercury dealer will have the o-rings for me on wednesday...using the part number from shorangerbird...thanks again for all the help.
