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
Should I disconect EKP module and crank it to lose the rail pressure ? How long was it sitting before you disconected the rail lines from injectors? I want to avoid fuel all over the engine bay
Hey couldnt you just unplug injectors and coils and turn the engine over then pull plugs to see which is wet? That way you dont have to remove the injectors
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?
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.
@thebimmerbarn Hey man, what adaptations did you reset after installing the Index 12s? I've only been directed to, and subsequently did, reset both lamda ones. Should I have done more?
I have N53 and done the test 4 injectors were leaking, I put new ones and it gets worse now ( 4 injectors was used but I tested them as you did) don't know what to do next:-)!
I just pulled out one injector just to look at it. I replaced my valve cover gasket a few months ago but when I took the injector out it was covered in oil. Does that mean it was just old oil?
Help! So my car is completely fine on idle. Never skips a beat. But upon pushing the throttle a bit it will misfire. It’s fine on low rpms but high rpms. It will throw a cylinder 1 misfire and start to stumble. Would this be the injector?
e60 535i has no throttle and idels up and down..but mine was not the fuse like in one of your vids .. plz help. new gas peddle , new throttle body. no water in DME ever.
Hey guys I need help with inpa. I have replaced my msd80 dme with msd81 and was wondering if I should be ok to choose n54 msd80 option on inpa to calibrate my injectors.
Hello sir, I also encountered the same situation, is there any fault code? Does the tachometer pointer drop first and then rise after the engine is cold started? car shaking
I did same test as you.. but i have N53 engine.. none of the injector made a single leak, i changed all plugs and coils.. but there are still symptoms like rough idle, shaking, vibrating on cold start, check engine.. i dont know what to do
@@TheBimmerBarn i just did the test and none of my injectors leaked at all....im still getting gas in the oil though. Could this be a bad seal on the hpfp? Also did a compression test on the engine and it checks out fine.
@@TheBimmerBarn sweet thanks for the video! Finally getting around to replacing my injectors with used index 8’s after finding out 4 of them are leaking. Fingers crossed at least 4 of the used ones I bought are good 👍
You didn’t bleed the lines after you removed the hard lines. How do you know there was pressurized fuel to the car injector. You don’t there full of air.
The video is awesome, friend. We have launched the 4modes led headlight bulb, would you like to try it? We wanna send it for you to try. I have contacted you by email, hope to hear from you, thanks.
This is brilliant, way better than some cleaning services which test the injectors at low pressures.

if even available. The usual German bmw webshops dont have them (baum & leebmann bmw)
@@seppmeier9961 I know. I can buy only 1 at the dealership, at the moment🤯.

It's completely outrageous how much the injectors cost now. Im hoping fixing supply chain issues will alleviate the issue!

It would be nice to see how you coded the new injectors
using OBD2 scanner but one that does that coding
Great video. I'm having a misfire on Injector 6 and suspect it is leaking. This video is good info. I never thought to check mine like this. Thanks!!
Great Work mate.
Ultrasonic cleaning might help extend the life of your old injectors and new o rings + filters if they have them.
Should I disconect EKP module and crank it to lose the rail pressure ?
How long was it sitting before you disconected the rail lines from injectors?
I want to avoid fuel all over the engine bay
Hey couldnt you just unplug injectors and coils and turn the engine over then pull plugs to see which is wet? That way you dont have to remove the injectors
This is great!!!! I’m having a super light misfire at idle. I need to do this
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.
good day, this is enough to test the sprayer, thanks for the answer
What does it mean by “put key at position 2”?
Many thanks.
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.

You a professional brother, l give you double thumbs-up
Thank you, much love!

Do you install new decouplers and teflon seals each time injector is taken out of the engine? :)
👀 😅
So only need to remove electrical connector to injectors and disconnect coil pack connectors? Thanks.
Hi by any chance was his car running lean for ltft, misfires and surging when in park that would get better by stepping on the gas??
I have N53 and done the test 4 injectors were leaking, I put new ones and it gets worse now ( 4 injectors was used but I tested them as you did) don't know what to do next:-)!
I just pulled out one injector just to look at it. I replaced my valve cover gasket a few months ago but when I took the injector out it was covered in oil. Does that mean it was just old oil?
Yeah old oil, there's no good way to clean up the valley down there where oil collects and takes forever to burn off.

Test the new index 12’s. I have a set with less than 10000km on them & they leaked enough to spin a bearing.
very good test!
e60 535i has no throttle and idels up and down..but mine was not the fuse like in one of your vids .. plz help. new gas peddle , new throttle body. no water in DME ever.
Good testing method.
You should though have tested the “new” ones the same way to actually KNOW if they had the same problem or not.
Hey guys I need help with inpa. I have replaced my msd80 dme with msd81 and was wondering if I should be ok to choose n54 msd80 option on inpa to calibrate my injectors.
What do you mean by "Adaptation reset" ?
On the bench to check under different modes. sometimes the injector starts to drip after the tests.
Isn't this dangerous for the cylinders as they will all fail with the injectors out?
?
Cool video! Where can I get a car like this?
I understand correctly, after such a connection, nothing can drip? even if i turn the engine
Great video solved my problem with mixture/lean codes. All 6 injectors were leaking for my case giving code 0029e0. Thank you!
Hello sir, I also encountered the same situation, is there any fault code? Does the tachometer pointer drop first and then rise after the engine is cold started? car shaking
Thanks for your video
Hope it helped! Thanks for the nice comment :)
Thank you guys, it's very helpful video and it just gave me an idea how to test my car injectors.
Glad it helped!
I did this but my motor never cranked and made an ugly sound. Did I miss somethingv
Very helpful! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I did same test as you.. but i have N53 engine.. none of the injector made a single leak, i changed all plugs and coils.. but there are still symptoms like rough idle, shaking, vibrating on cold start, check engine.. i dont know what to do
Read the fault codes, and that should help you pinpoint the problem. Sounds like it could be fuel related! Good luck
Check if the injector is loose if so add a new decoupler and o ring compressed
Did you have to code the new injectors? I keep getting mixed responses
Ofc you do
Im having an issue when i start getting on accelerator at around 3 to 4 rpm the car feels like it jerks n looses power it only does it sometimes .
If one is leaking how do you fix it?
does it require a new battery program or can you just reconnect and start up?
No battery reprogram needed, unless you replaced it!
What Adaption have you reset ? (Name the Adaption?) THX
All of the DME adaptations
Do you know exactly which adaptations were reset? 6:15. Thanks.
Used INPA and reset all adaptations on the second page, in the DME.
So when i change the injectors can what i do mext i dont understand the part with the laptop
Will the injector get damaged if i clean it with a scuff pad with brake cleaner on the tip?
yup
Would this cause oil to smell like fuel?
Yeah, could be causing the car to run rich.
@@TheBimmerBarn i just did the test and none of my injectors leaked at all....im still getting gas in the oil though. Could this be a bad seal on the hpfp?
Also did a compression test on the engine and it checks out fine.
@@samah713 that's the only other place I can think off, or the car could be running too rich, which could be caused by bad oxygen sensors. Good luck!
Your HPFP could be going bad too. There's a seal that when failed causes fuel to get in the oil.
can you do this for non coded injectors? just to test if theyre leaking.
Yeah! It'll work just the same.
@@TheBimmerBarn sweet thanks for the video! Finally getting around to replacing my injectors with used index 8’s after finding out 4 of them are leaking. Fingers crossed at least 4 of the used ones I bought are good 👍
Did you takeout spark plugs?
No reason to, just unplug the ignition coils!
Do have to code them?
Where can I buy the bmw inpa program ?
What happens if you don't code those?
wont run right
so the spark plug replacement etc; were unnecessary repairs.
never a bad idea to replace sparkplugs, they are wear parts after all
I got 30BB I wish TH-cam didn’t get rid of messages 😢
What u should of done is showed the new injectors see if any of them leaked BS
Low pressure fuel sencer.
You didn’t bleed the lines after you removed the hard lines. How do you know there was pressurized fuel to the car injector. You don’t there full of air.
If there leaking, the air will be pushed out first, followed by the gas. Common sense
*They're
nice
