Poke it with what?

 

your booger hook/fingernail or a nail/pick or something

 

Booger hook. Hahahahahaha! It has spring to it but it's tough to get the valve to close. I stabbed the crap out of it but no luck. I'll give it a few more stabs tomorrow. At least it's nothing serious. Just need to hit the sweet spot.

 

New fuel rail in my future. Crap!!

 

The valve unscrews from the fitting with a $1 tool, the replacement vales are less than a buck. Napa has the fuel rated schrader valves.

 

Now there's some good advice. Thanks a bunch.

 

Found the tool but I don't see where NAPA has the fuel rated schrader valve.

 

I had to go to the counter and have them look in the books for it. I believe I used a Ford, or some other generic that last time.

 

NAPA guy said the catalog shows nothing for Schrader Valves on the fuel rail. This is frustrating. The beast has been down for almost a month now.

 

I'm going to buy a used fuel rail. There is no such thing as a replacement schrader valve core.
