Hi all, went to drive my starion today, started idling like a volkswagon, then popped the bonnet, and fuel was dripping down from the cross pipe near the eci. how do I go about fixing it, getting seals or whatnot?

Cheers

Ducktape will fix anything... rofl

A match

Firstly unfortunately you'll have to find out exactly where it's leaking from, see if you can see which seal, etc.
Some of those seals are a bit hard to get. Even if you can take a photo, and post it up with roughly where you think it's leaking I might be able to help you work out which seals and where to get them

Cheers!

this is why i dont like JA's so much anymore. leaking eci units are the death of these cars. it will be leaking from the top o ring seals on the injectors (unlikely) or the injectors themselves (likely). what you really need is a good s/h eci unit, bolt it on wholus bolus, as once you remove the injectors from the mixer they tend to leak out the rubber seal on the sides of the injector where the wires go in. and you cant buy injectors for them any more.

i have a good eci, pm me if you want it..

Yeh actually redzone's option is probly better

Bite the bullet and go MPI as you will be far better off in the long run
And I just happen have the perfect inlet manifold complete with injectors 4 you :D

Hey oldfart..

How much for your MPI set up then? Do you know approx shipping prices to nz?

Hi all, I am going to look today, and will definatly let you know, just had to work 2 days and then found out that a few of us were getting laid off, so yeah, money will be tight for a while, but will see how things go. thanks heaps people

i don't recommend this though i have done it and there is no more leaking outside the unit.

Had a look and it seems to be coming out around the top where the eci letters are under those 4 main bolts, so maybe a gasket??

cheers rad ill let you know when and if i get the starion i want . O i really want .come on need advise . I know eveyone says they are'nt reliable but surely it will be reasonjably ok and wont blow an engine like my mazda did?

How much?
