Hi guys,

When i had my power fc tune my tuner advised i have a slightly leaking injector in cylinder 1.

He said its nothign to worry about at this starge but may cause it to idle at bit rough.

Has any one experienced this type of proplem?

Does any one know what effects it could have? wher eits headed or what caused it?

Im guessing Age and prob slightly clogged?

Thanks in advance.

dangerous, very dangerous. get it replaced right away :) if enough fuel leaks out and causes a vapor it could ignite with turbo under bonnet temps.

I had the same problem and replaced the injector without driving the car.

If it's anything like mine was when I had the injectors cleaned and re-installed, the leak was so bad that the engine hydraulic locked when I turned it over on the starter motor!

Was caused by a leaking O-ring which was nicked when one of the injectors was being put back in. There was another which must have had a very slow leak and this only felt like a slight hesitation or "tight spot" when starting the motor in the morning. Noticed no effect at all once the engine was running.

If the injectors are dirty and/or leaking while running you would expect this to have some impact on your economy also.

    • Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.
    • Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
    • @Rusty NutshI mate. Do you have a pinout diagram for the na neo auto ecu? 
    • Yeah thats the plan now. 🤞
    • Have a chat with the tuner, you'd want to drive the car straight there.
