Hello everyone Im a newbie here but belong to lots of forums. If you need answers turn to the pros(You Chevy Experts). So here I am.


Long story short I have a 98 Tahoe 5.7 I have fuel spilling out the what I was told was called the fuel meter body/injector/spider injector assembly. I took it all apart and there are 2 gaskets on the plug that plugs into the top of the piece. Question is where do I find those seals????I have searched and cannot locate. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks Jeff

 

I would assume you are talking about the plenum (upper intake) gaskets. 1 large oval type o-ring around the meter body and one around the upper intake? picture if not.

 

No Sir not that one, the ones I need are on the electrical plug that plugs into the spider on the top. One is Red and the other is green

 

What happened to the old one? If you are talking about on the large connector then that is not something that gets replaced. You would probably have to buy a new engine harness. It is designed to keep moisture out.

 

Its leaking gas out of it onto the plenum. Oh man I certainly didn't want to hear that but yes thats the connector in question. Any other reason why it would be leaking fuel there. I fixed it once today with the old gaskets and it purred like a kitty no problems no fuel leak. As soon as I shut it off the seals popped again and here I am back at square one.

 

The plug plugs into this>>>>NAPA AUTO PARTS

I might need to hit the junk yard and cut off a plug if I can find one.

 

If it is leaking fuel out of the electrical connector then your new part is bad. There should be no fuel there

 

I didnt change any parts at all. Later today I will take it apart again and post some pics

 

Well calling the dealer yesterday was absolutely no help. Went in person today and holy @#$% to my amazement after searching for this part the guy said when would you like? I almost fell over dead. I actually had him overnight it so it will be here in the morning. WOOOOHOOOO Thanks for your time MDTAHOE. I will still post some pics tomorrow in case anybody else has this issue. Hopefully this part has everything I need in the box.

The part ordered was:
