re
"Rick told me they no longer have them'

no longer have injectors, or clamps ?
I'm not near the east coast, but I but I have lots of good used injectors
and fuel rails, if that is what you seek.

you don't say the condition of the hose where it's clamped onto the fuel
rail.
Perhaps it's squished and old there.
Or if the hose clamps are the kind with a tiny screw in them.....
the clamp could just be 'bottomed out' and not able to squeeze any tighter.
but I have lots of good used injectors if that is what you seek.

the oxygen sensor is on the left side of the engine.
Sounds like you are describing # 3, the left forward injector, or near
there.
