    Just noticed a bit of fuel sputtering out of what seems to be an injection Valve on my MFI?

    Leak at the flare fitting, don't drive the car until fixed, could catch fire!! Probably not seated correctly.
    You need flare wrenches. These don't require a lot of torque, if properly aligned on the fitting. Check if it is just a bit loose, but you will probably have to loosen at the pump too to align it correctly.

    If that drips on to the exhaust below it will not end well!!

    Thank you David. I will go give that a try first.

    David you were right. Tried adjusting one end and that caused it to leak more. Then I took both ends off and re aligned them and now its fine no leak.

    Thanks again,

    Chris
