I'm looking for 2 O-rings. The dip stick tube o-ring and the cold start injector to fuel rail o-ring (o-ring embedded in washer). I've tried the auto stores (autozone, advanced auto, and oreilly's), also looked on the fiero store site and GM Parts Giant site (had them listed but discontinued). I've tried a regular oil resistant o-ring for the dipstick and it pinched the edge of the oring off all the around. I used oil on it to help slide it in, and I thought it was really close in size. The cold start o-ring isn't that bad, and I would probably use it again if it wasn't for fuel but don't want to take any chances. Ive thought about using a copper washer but again hesitant cause it is the fuel system. Anybody know where to get replacements? Thanks for looking and appreciate any help.

Okay so I'm not sure about the fuel rail but the dipstick o-ring you speak of I bought at a GM dealership. I believe the part # is 10101844. Here is my thread asking about it: https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum2/HTML/121983.html

Another member posted a link to buy it online. I think I ended up getting through the dealership because when I called them to double check the part number, they offered to order it with free shipping. When it came in, they actually ended up giving me the seal for free too! (Matthews Chevrolet in Vestal, NY is an awesome dealership!)

I hope this solves at least part of your problem!

Thanks One Slow Fiero. Dealership crossed my mind but was gonna be a last resort. They seem to price things like gold is included with the part but I have yet to find it.

For the cold start fuel injector, The Fiero Store has what you need: www.fierostore.com/Product/...px?s=61954&d=246&p=2

No problem. I know what you mean about dealerships. Just gotta find a place willing to take care of you. I'd just see how much it would cost with shipping off that site and see if a dealership is willing to price match if they aren't cheaper. You might even get lucky like I did.

Hey Bloozberry, yeah I saw that at the Fiero Store. Admittedly I only looked at the picture, the picture to me shows the 2 o-rings on the injector and the internal o-ring inside the compression fitting. I need the external o-ring/washer between the fitting and fuel rail. The description underneath the picture sounds like what I need. I think I'll give the FS a call and see what they say. Thanks Blooz.

Why do you need these o-rings replaced? Just wondering if it is just because my car is 26 years old , I guess my question is,
Should I replace mine just because they are so old? I don't know of any problem with them , just don't want any problem.

Just checked the parts catalog here at the dealership, both seals for the cold start are not servicable by themselves, have to purchase a "pipe kit" which has been discontiuned as per GM
