Smell of fuel under the hood and no change when I unplug the #1 injector, pull injector out before work this morning and predictably find another torn O-ring. Replace with new, good to go. But I swear I already replaced that O-ring earlier this year. Why might this be recurring? I check the lower seat with my finger before reinstalling to make sure it's clean. Is it highly sensitive to the injector being put in straight? Should I be tapping it down into the seats with a mallet before tightening the cap down? <div><br></div><div>Meanwhile, I have to push the front of the hood up with a wedge before I can pop the hood with the release. I could maybe move the latch down enough to address this, but that would just be a band-aid. Is there any adjustment in the release cable? I can't see any. And how can I even lube the thing? The horizontal track immeditately below the latch makes it seemingly impossible to get lube anywhere near that thing. </div><div><br></div><div>David</div><div>Chicago</div></div>
