Noticed some smoke from my driver side header which looked to be a unburnt fuel smell/ color smoke. Pulled rail and injectors and sure enough #5 cylinder injector was spraying fuel during fuel system prime. My main question is what would be my best bet, clean and rebuild the injectors myself or send them of for a rebuild and maybe get them flow matched? I need to know what would be best cost wise and long term efficiency/ reliability. Any help or suggestions is much appreciated.

 

no insight?

 

Home "rebuild" is pretty much limited to changing wear items such as filter basket, o'rings, pintle caps, back up washers.
Inj cleaning at home, not really accurate.
Send them to be done on a bench.
As for 1 inj leaking....Could be the grnd side of the harness is shorted. This will cause the inj to stay on as long as the key is on.

 

That's what I was thinking so I will just send them out. I don't believe the problem is wiring because this problem never happened when I ran the stock injectors. The problem is more than one injector, but more pronounced on the number 5 cylinder injector which is what led me to automatically think the injectors were the problem

 

Well after some research I decided to send them off to FIC (fuel injector connection) for the rebuild. I'll let you know how things go when I get them back and in the car

 

been a while, update?
