I'm going to get my injectors cleaned as I believe that is the root cause of my CEL and misfire at idle.

How easy is it to do?

Bibbs

Very!

1. take the black plastic cover off - 2 bolts ..
2. take the 5 (?) rail nuts off ..
3. prise the rail off the tops of the injectors ..
4. unclip the injector from the eletric loom ..
5. pull the injector out ..
6. start seeing things due to petrol fumes ..

I swapped mine in about 45 mins.

Thanks Bibbs. I assume that the fuel system would still be under pressuer, is there any way of releasing the pressure without getting petrol all over the engine? Also, do the seals come away with the injectors?

Bibbs

The seals for the rail should stay on the injector.

My seals for the manifold were 50/50. 2 stayed on the injector, 2 I prised out with my finger. Don't worry, they are faily chunky (polo mint size) and wont "fall in" unless really pushed.

Open your petrol cap, I also undid the FPR (as I needed to). But the rail itself will have loads of fuel in anyhow.

Thanks, just ringing around getting prices. Best so far is ASNU which is online,

As I said in your other thread .. I've got 4 stocks spare, in the car if you are local.

I'm from Newcastle-Upon-Tyne

Bibbs

maybe not "local" then

Itchy Dick

Nope! Oh well! I'll just get them cleaned, that should sort the problem out! I'll report back when I've got the cleaned!

Did this sort your CEL problems Nick?
