Impulsive solar energetic particle (SEP) events with large enrichments of 3He are associated with ~2-100 keV impulsive electrons. Electron observations with the energy range of ~3 eV - 500 keV by the WIND 3-D Plasma and Energetic Particle experiment (3DP) and ion measurements with the energy range of ~ 0.02 - 10 MeV/nucleon by the ACE Ultra-Low Energy Isotopic Spectrometer (ULEIS) provide the first possibility of an accurate timing comparison of between impulsive 3He-rich events and energetic electron events. We select eleven solar impulsive events with enhanced 3He/4He ratios (~0.1 - 1.5) and a clear velocity dispersion of both ion and electron events over a wide energy range. We remove the contaminations of higher energy electrons in Solid State Telescopes (SST) on WIND, determine the interplanetary path length from peak times of WIND electron data observed in situ, and obtain the electron injection profiles at the Sun from triangular fits to in situ observations. The onsets and peaks of the injection of 3He-rich ion events at the Sun are derived from those of ACE ion data observed in situ by taking into account the travel time along the path length comparable to electron events. The comparison study shows a systematic delay of the injection of 3He-rich ions events with respect to the injection of electron events. Nine of ten events have a fast (> 570 km/s) west CME observed by SOHO/LASCO with the onset of electron injection close to the origin of the CME, and with the onset of ion injection corresponding to a median height ~ 5 Rs of CME.
