    I cleaned my engine and installed my 550cc injectors, but......

    I apparently didn't burn all of the engine cleaner out of the system before I did that. I ended up scaring myself when the below happened.

    Thank God I took vortex's advice and spliced in the new injector harnesses instead of cutting off and replacing the old ones. Now that the smoke has cleared, I'll see about putting the 550's back in.

    Yeah, at my dads store we did one of those cleaners to the car that make it smoke. he took off out on the main road and it covered the street, the cars behind him came to complete stop for a few seconds till it cleared. It was hillarious.

    I used this stuff that plugs into a vacuum line (PCV or brake booster) and it draws the liquid into the manifold. I don't recall the name, but I would recognize it if I went to the store.

    does it work better than sea-foam?
    I'm going to pick some up today if I can find it anywhere here, and give it a shot.

    I've never seen/used sea foam before. I will have to look next time I'm at the store.

    Speaking of oil pressure and gauges, any suggestions (from anyone) on where to get an oil pressure sender (electronic)?
    Some jerk on ebay sent me the oil pressure gauge without the sender.

    Ah, one sec. I'll find the website that I got my new sender from, since I have the same gauges.

    Call AutoDynamics at 626-618-2026. That's where I got my temp sender from when I messed mine up trying to install it to the oil pan.

    Thanks for the number.
    I have a water temp gauge (that came with the other one) that also didnt come with a sender (but I'm thinking that I can just hook that one up to the stock wiring (off the cluster on a 96) if I ever end up using that gauge (will have oil pressure, voltage, and tach in my triple pod A pillar)

    You can only use certain gauges with thier respective senders, as the voltage mapping may be different (i.e. 5volts = 100 degrees on one where as 8volts = 100 degrees on another).
