I replaced the injectors and no more leaks.

I was driving doing 40-45 and it ran as it always did, then started driving real well with felt more power. then a fuel line popped of the injector and died out.

I pulled over and put the line back on and now it wont start. do i need another new injector on that side now?

Make sure the resistor pack is still plugged in

Note: You were very lucky if a fuel line popped off of one of your fuel injectors and the car didn't catch fire. I'm guessing that the fuel injector harness popped of and not the actual fuel line which would have spewed gasoline all over.

Oh no it was the fuel injection line, and yes there was fuel all over
