You are very lucky and acted very cool headed under the circumstances.

Congratulations !

Cool

Probably a fuel injector unseated, and/or a fuel injector O-ring deteriorated. There's only one rubber fuel hose on a returnless system & it's on the driver's side.

I would just about never buy a brand new fuel injector. They're like $100-200 bucks OEM. The failure rate is so low too. If you can find a used set (like on ebay, or a junkyard call around), they normally are nearly worthless used.

Just a thought if you're low on cash.

It turns out that there was a screw or something similar loose on the fuel rail. My mechanic fixed it and the car is back to running like a champ.

Thanks for your concern, Tammy .

Thanks for the advice, Pheonix. Your wisdom is always much appreciated.

Cool

So a fuel injector unseated.
Good deal with just bolting the fuel rail back down. That shouldn't have cost too much.
