1996 Chevy Cavalier Manual

I just got my o rings in the fuel injector changed because of a small leak. Now it leaks even more and is blowing black-blue smoke. What might have been done wrong and how will this affect my car?

If the injector O rings are leaking, you will hear them and the engine idle speed will be high (vacuum leaks).

Have the shop put in new O rings at their cost.
