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.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
