Urgent question about fuel rail and injectors

[PeterB]

Im curently trying to switch round injectors 2 and 3 to see if ive got a faulty injector causing a misfire

Ive got as far as disconecting the fuel line from the rail, clips from the injectors and electrical connectors

I cant get the fuel rail off the injectors, is it meant to come off? or should i pull all the injectors out together still attached to the rail?

Ive tried wd40 but still no luck

no no no no no

clips stay on the injectors, remove the rail and injectors as 1

Cheers Fred, Ive managed to remove all the injectors still attached to the rail

How do i now go about switching injectors 2 and 3? Take the clips off and pull from the rail?

 

[Fred@BTM]

yep, hard!

take a tip from me as ive just had a faulty injector

put it on the diagnostics for like £30 to get a definate to if it is that and which one it is

saved me so much messing about

I swapped the injector from the misfiring cylinder, no.3, with injector no. 2 and the mis fire moved to no. 2 = a dodgy injector which is now in no. 2

Question now is do I get it, or all of them, cleaned, e.g. http://www.injectorcleaning.co.uk/index.htm

or do i get a new injector?

 

[Fred@BTM]

new

Get a new injector for the faulty one and if you have some spare dosh have the others cleaned.

Cheers for the help everyone, especially Fred! Got a new injector on order at euro car parts so will hopefully have the car running by the end of the week
