Thread: injector problem

Sounds like its stuffed , pull all the plugs and do a wet and dry comp check first .
You sure its petrol and not water that was mixed with the oil , its pretty hard to put raw fuel in the sump !!!

Yeah, even a drooling injector would only drop a bees dick until the pressure in the system dropped, and the pump doesn't go for more than 3 secs with ign on.

hi guys , yeah it was defernitly petrol and heaps of it, just before it stoped all you could smell was petrol and it was running on gas and was running like crap. pulled the filter off today and the same petrol and a littlle oil . defernitly no water. tony

As a temporary measure disconnect the fuel pump by removing the fuel pump relay (under the drivers seat). Then remove the injectors and find some suitable replacements. Both early (hose top) and late (clip in) RRC injectors can be found on other common vehicles. Running on gas can dry out injectors and yours sound stuffed.

thanks bee utey i'll ring around a few places 2morow and get some prices and a mate found some on fleabay in the states for around $100.00ish could you recomend a good brand and what i'd expect to pay localy for them.thanks again tony

check the fuel pressure regulater hasnt split internally.it will dump fuel through the vacumn pipe into the inlet manifold.

I have only used second hand injectors to date. BTW I believe they are ALL made by Bosch. The early hose top ones were fitted to SD1's and I got a full set for my bro off a petrol-only car for a few bucks. They were also used on VL Commodores I believe. The later ones are more-or-less the same as Falcons Magnas and Commodores. I once used 8 removed from a EF falcon or two. Pick-a-part wreckers are your friend.

Great idea, just pull off the reg's vacuum hose and run the engine.
