Homie just skips the whole "dismantle the fuel rail" section

"Quick fix"
Me: 5 days later...."what?!"

This guy is the human embodiment of WebMD.

“If your high mileage car is running a little low these days, go straight for the fuel injectors! Air filter? Nahh, Mass Airflow Sensor? Nehh, tire rotation? Pfttt, nope.”

I would argue fuel injectors, depending on the car can be very time consuming, and pricey, and wouldn’t be considered a quick fix. I appreciate the sentiment, but the delivery could’ve been different.

“Quick fix” skips the pain in the ass of removing the intake plenum and EGR

Always put new o-rings. Main cause for a lot of car fires is because you used old o-rings.

Pulling the fuel rail usually isn't part of a "quick fix" 😂

An injector is not serviced until the pindal cap is removed and the injector is flow tested and checked for leaks then cleaned so the wax is removed from around the needle then glowed again to check they are all the same and flow has improved and the spray pattern is perfect then fit all the seals and filter and cap and then refit.

I disassembled everything all the way down to the fuel rails on my car so many times while diagnosing a misfire that I can now do it in about 30 minutes!

It's people like you that help people like me fix my car. I appreciate it!

If the injectors for your car aren’t too expensive, I’d recommend just replacing them. In my case they are $230 each OEM, so this makes some sense to save money. 👍

The part thats missing it "pull fuel pump fuse, attempt to start car acouple times, then use a rag to remove the fuel rail and the fuel injectors. Still will be alot of fuel!"

[Dr.Westside]

I'll just put mine in the ultrasonic then finish off by running Seafoam or Techron concentrate through under pressure with the injector pulsing .

*...inspect the fuel rail thoroughly, primarily for the rust bubbles that like to form, are very sharp, and will likely tear your new seals...*

I knew you could do it but wasn’t aware it was that simple. Thanks for sharing

[Thomas-jqim]

I honestly had no idea that injectors were a serviceable item. Nice to know!

[DrDAC-gohs]

No cleaning the injection side? That could be gunked up.
