    best place to buy parts

    So what have you found to be the best/cheapest place for parts. My local favorite Knetchs always has good technical help for stuff and they can get most parts next day if they dont have it in stock.

    I went the other day to get a fuel injector seal kit and they wanted $9 AN INJECTOR. I assume thats all the seals for the injectors. The guy at the store told me that if they're going out it could cause my car to run rough. Does that seem like a high/low price for that? $36 bucks for a couple O rings and some other stuff seems kinda high.

    i know. the only place that had the right ones were 6 bucks each. Autozone didnt have the castle nuts like the stock ones. The ones they had listed for the accord were weird and wouldnt have worked.

    Well, that's because it is extremely rare to have any o-ring leaks. The rest of the rubber parts are just a cushion and a seal at the manifold that won't leak liquid fuel. If you are still on the original injectors then you need to replace those injectors that are leaking. Don't waste your money on seals. I learned years ago the hard way after spending $50 for a set of rubber seals that didn't do squat. Of course, the new injectors come with the necessary seals and you don't need to change the old ones on the injectors you are not replacing. Just pull the fuel rail carefully and keep the injectors in it.

    I like Options Auto Salon, and Nopi. They are both reputable comapnies. A little pricey though.
