    guys i have a small problem (i hope) i am changing my spark plugs and i couldnt get the 3rd one back on the drivers side bcz the fuel rail is in the way. i unbolted the fuel rail so i could get the coilpack off the 3rd plug, well when i did this one of the fuel injectors came off of the fuel rail and Gas came out and went on top of the spark plug that needs to be taken out on the second cylinder on the drivers side. how much of a problem is this?

    Can you not cram something in there to absorb the fuel

    I really don't see where it could hurt anything

    it ain't gonna hurt anything. At most, it will throw a little black smoke when you fire her up.

    thanks guys now on to the next problem. i had one of the bolts break off that bolts the coil pack down. ive been trying for hours to drill the stupid bolt out but it aint working yall think ill be ok driving with the coil pack just pushed on to the plug or does that small bolt really hold that coil pack down nice and tight? it seems like even though the others are bolted down i can still move them with my hand. thanks for the help guys, this is taking longer than i wanted it too.
