HEAT SHRINK FUEL INJECTION LINE BETWEEN #6-#8 INJECTORS DEVELOPED A HOLE AND SPRAYING FUEL ONTO INTAKE AND IGNITION WIRING. THE CAR SMELLED OF GAS INSIDE AND THE MOTOR WAS HARD TO START AND BACKFIRES SOME. I'VE DONE A TEMPORARY REPAIR AND HAVE NOT BOUGHT ALL NEW RAIL TUBING. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING AT THIS POINT. IT IS TOO COSTLY FOR OWNERS TO REPAIR FOR SUCH A SMALL PROBLEM.
