Wondering what the symptoms of a sticky injector are? ie. sticking open or closed during operation... How would it affect idle, cruising, A/F etc. Trying to diagnose something.

Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

 

You will have eratic idle and power loss.

 

when you say erratic how much difference?

 

I was reading a bunch of my old mags before throwing them out this last weekend, and it would seem that if an injector is going to "stick", it will most likely ... stick open! Most likely as a result of too much "duty cycle" time. Otherwise, RC also said it was possible that another failure possibility was that it would stick "half way" (neither of which is good).

Sticking open would allow too much fuel (obviously), half way ... you guessed it!

 

Hmm I'm assuming that if an injector WAS sticking, that it 'could' be permanently stuck, or it could be random - ie. sometimes it gets stuck and sometimes it doesn't?

 

Read your spark plugs, rotate the position of your injectors, then read your plugs again. If you have a bad injector it will show up.

 

Good idea.. I will take a peek.

How do you remedy a sticking injector?
