The injectors are held in place by the fuel rail. Do I just hold them against it or will the pressure blow them off the rail??

Thumbs down

I pulled the fuel rail and tested the injectors, sure enough 1 was not working. After putting in a spare I had and reinstalling all the crap that goes on top.

I fire up the BEAST (the flames were about 2 feet high)

I was lucky to have a extinguisher. It looks like the fire didn't do much damage but I'm back to figureing out yet another problem.
