and am in a bit of worry that it fell off and into the engine. The thin seal and o-ring also fell off, but I was able to grab those.

Some offer this poor soul some advice.

Default Pull the intake manifold...

Perhaps the valves for the cylinder you dropped it in were closed.

Default YEEES! The valves were closed so it was sitting right there!

No wonder it fell off, the cap is completely cracked. Damnit, not a spare part either. Now what to do...

Default I have extra fuel injectorizers from my parts car

They aren't the best looking but they work. Lemme know if you want em and I'll ship em out. ( I just need to double check with teh QFROG that he doesn't need them with the fuel rail I'm giving him )

10 bux to cover shpping and beer!

Default I'll send ya 2 of em.

Unless you really want all 4. That way I'll have 2 extras incase something happens with one of my cars.

Like I said, they ain't pretty (rusty looking on the outside) but they work fine.

Hmmm..I just thought of something, you probably need them really fast.

If you want to cover the shipping I can overnite them, but I get out of work after the PO closes tonight so you wouldn't have them till Wednesday.
