Default think I found my problem



I have cleaned this up a few times and it looks like my cly3 injector is leaking (where i was getting most of the misfires) also cly2 and 4 had a bit of that crap as well 1 is perfectly cleen.. cly2 is the where i got a few misfires put not during accleration that was cly3..
would a leaking injector cause low MAF readings.. I would asume yes..

Leaking injector isbad in anay case. Definitely get that repaired, man.
I would think the MAF would definitely be off because of this.

Not sure what your actual symptoms are (haven't been around the forum much these days so haven't seen your earlier posts).
Are you experiencing loss of boost, erratic boost? MAF lcel?
Maybe your MAF is just bad.Or just a hose leak or bad dv.


my guess is Avant meant "air in there"

im getting a misfre, low maf readings during logs, erratic boost... i just put a new DV in and fixed a few leaks, dont think there are any more leaks.. if you roll on the throttle no misfire, WOT misfire and erratic boost, (roll on the throttle hold 20) it feel a little sluggish to me..

I have read on a few forums there has been a problem with these Delphi injecorts seating properly and causing all kinds of problems.. I may switch to the bosch ones im going to call APR in a bit.. i need to read up and find out some stuff b4 i take them out and make everything worse..

if there are spacers where your injectors sit, take em out/off. When i was trying to help arif with his setup in the begining, his injectors came with spacers for the fuel railand the setup called for them to be used. He was leaking some fuel (i think) and misfiring with them.

leaky seals will cause a misfire perhaps the Delphis don't sit right and leak air, never tried them so don't know
