Pinto Injection

Recommended Posts

Hi, I've been advised to get my injectors cleaned, so I thought i'd look at replacements. Before I delve deeper, does anyone know the part numbers for standard injectors, or any suitable replacements. My engine has alway run a little on the lean side, so upping the flow rate may help.

Thanks in advance

Stand them up in a container of coke.leave for few days. Rinse well.

Its the reason i dont drink the stuff.

(Also good for cleaning gas parts on a rifle)

I've just bought an inlet manifold which I hope i'll get to play with in the next week. Thinking that I can clean that up including injectors and try it out before going any further.

I'll let you know if I need any more Stu.

Thanks

Nick.

there's a bosch part number on the side i believe, a series of numbers and dashes.

 

Have you adjusted the mixture using the air flow meter adjustment screw?

Andy, i've adjusted it to maximum, and tried a spare, still the same.

Have you tried the opposite way? :rofl:

Was that a spare AFM?

 

Are there any other symptoms, such as low performance at high rpm/high load, stuttering?

It could be the injectors, but it could also be a number of other things, fuel filter, temperature sensor, kinks in fuel pipe, regulator, pump, wiring etc etc. It would be nice to nail a diagnosis before going further

Fuel pump is good, pressure seems ok. It's always run a little lean which helps with emissions at MOT time. I know it needs a good tune up, but it was a comment from a fuel injection specialist that prompted the question.

It was too lean when I built it and I adjusted the AFM to richen it up(at a garage with gas analyser) but we couldn't get any more from it.

Hi Phil, never thought about you having spares, and local too. Not had much time in garage due to work and trying to get tyres sorted. Only took 5 days from appointment slot to actually having them fitted.
