    This is brilliant, way better than some cleaning services which test the injectors at low pressures.

    Thank you thank you thank you! For months I've been trying to figure out why I have a difficult time starting my Hyundai Tiburon after I have driven it and it's been off for over an hour. I saw your video last night and did the same test this morning. I found out my injector #4 was dripping gas. Thank you very much

    Well Chris. 6 months ago I purchased 6 index 9 remanufactured injectors. I got a 60k km warranty. Everything was okay. But a few weeks ago the car had a rough colt start again. I checked the injectors and nr3,4 and 5 are leaking. I was warned not to buy remanufactured injectors but I didn't have the money for index 12 ones, back then. The remanufactured injectors were €700. Now I'm saving money again for 6 index 12 new BMW injectors. But the prices went sky high lately. They're now € 2450,- ( $2620) at the dealership. Absolutely insane! Dutch regards, Nico.

      Yeah my friend almost bought a set of those "remanufactured" ones as well, not sure what the results would have been. Once they get stuck open and start leaking, there's no way of refurbishing them.

    That's the only way to test em and be sure. When I first got my 335 I checked the injectors. 4 wer spraying and 2 dripped. Cold start was fine but a hot start took a while and was a bit rough. $1400 later and the new injectors were in and she was running great. I hope the injectors on my n63tu last more than 100k

    I've watched this like 7 times this past week prepping for me to to it today 😂 only thing is I'm testing my newly used injectors with bank 2 hard lines so I don't have to pull my 3 injectors that never misfire out of the car, only because I only ordered 3 decoupler and Teflon seals

    I would test the index 12s too. I would also extend one injector wiring to reach each "new" index 12 injector to see if they are open and their injection patterns. Never trust ebay and there are FAKE index 12 out there and when I did what u did last year, I could not even program the compensation number into DME and 3 out of 6 index 12 I bought have the same compensation number.

    Do the injectors generally fail in any other way then leaking?
    My cyl 6 injector is leaking for sure as the plug is soaked in fuel after just a couple hrs.
    As i want to go for DI delete when Nexsys works out the kinks i dont want to buy all 6 new Index 12s, so figured i would buy a couple used ones for spare, flip my existing ones and test them along with the "new" used ones, and just switch the ones that leak.
    Is there any point in bringing them somewhere to get them flow/spray pattern tested or is it just the leaking to be worried about?

    • @Zodiam.
      @Zodiam. 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Answering myself. They do Gail in other ways. I tried 2x used injectors and they didn't leak but caused heavy misfiring instead... I gave up and bought new instead.
