symptoms of injector seal failiure

Post by chriminator100 »

Hi guys, same as above really..read it in a previous post that symptoms may include a petrol smell and crap economy... are there any other symptoms? also..where would the petrol smell be coming from inside the engine bay? thanks. chris

Faster than normal idle speed, you may well hear an air leak if you listen to the engine, and also poor performance and economy. (it'll be running lean).

Unfortunately they're also a bit of a pain to get to because of the angle of the engine in the bay, and the way the inlet manifold wraps around the fuel rail :(

Hope this is of some help!

Jim.
