Leaking Injector?

Hey,

I noticed that after quite a spirited drive, the next morning the car was dropping to 200rpm when clutching in to come to a stop and then reving back up to 750rpm. Then once idling the car would feel a bit rough.

Had a poke around the engine bay and saw this :P

Injector no.1 (the one closest to the radiator?) seems to be covered in dirt and I can see yellow stains around the plenum.

Being at the front, it would no doubt pick up dirt coming through the car, but just want to confirm this aint no normal dirt build up? :P

I put in the injectors about a year ago and had them flow tested and new seals.

Would this be related to my near stalling when coming to a stop and then a rough idle? Its not as rouch as a disconnected cylinder, but you can feel it sort of hunting.

Would this be injector leaking? Or the seal? Or not pushed in enough?

Thanks

i think the stalling issue may be more caused byt the IAC than the injector, but i could be wrong. the yellow could be a bit of spilt oil from an oil change or something like that.

ive stripped down the IAC and gave it a proper clean thats why im not leaning towards it.

IAC controls the air flow in the air/fuel mix. Im thinking that if the injector is leaking, thats causing problems on the fuel side of the air/fuel mix which should be similar to a IAC problem?

On the old R31 (injector leaks are common) yellow around the injector was a sign of a leak, and it idled poorly / did not accelerate well.

I would clean it and then see if it leaks again after that...

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
