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...

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
