Wow Allan,
that is indeed professional material.
The only reflection I need to make will be : is it worth cleaning the injectors, compared to the price of new ones?
All depends on the cost of cleaning and testing.
Currently I can buy 8 new Bosch injectors for 300€. That is a very good price (normally they cost 45€ each)
When you say cleaning, do you also repair them when necessary? I have no idea how an injector looks like internally?
Is it pure metal or are there also rubber seals inside the injector?
Do the mechanical injectors wear after several years?
I know you are the best professional to answer these questions ...what is your experience about these injectors?
Normally , it's 15€ /each for this kind of injector and you paid only if it's good .
And nothing if they come with other things , like WUR or fuel distributor .
For this kind of injector , it only can be cleanning and testing , nothing else ...
But for you , the price is only beer like the other time !
nice information.
Now I better understand how these injectors technically are made and how they should work.
Hey , I have no problem to pay you for job well done. But ofcourse beer is what we Belgians are good in making and drinking of course :-)
Did you know that we have about 1500 different types of beer in Belgium.
I can send you my injectors, but first can you already see at the color of the spark plugs whether I should clean them ( except for sparkplug 6)
Is the color normal or should I clean the injectors ?
Nice. It seems fun.
I myself like beer but I am more into champagne and whisky.
In 2009 I went to Scotland by my classic car , a MG Midget and visited the Whiskey factory...also interesting to do :
whenever you are planning to do so, I can provide you some beautiful locations that should absolutely visit.
I did a tour of 14 days from Southern Scotland all the way up to the North , near Isle of Skye and back via the East.
Weather was not bad : 2 out of 7 days rain, but other days were sunny.
With friends , we want to do a road trip with our Porsche ( 944 S2 , 996 and my 928 S ) .
Cornwall , little road in Wales , Ace caffee in London , Edinburg , Aberdeen , Inverness , say hello to Nessie , and many more ...
Some pictures from Connemara Lake near Galway ...
I took the Benz for this trip , for 4 addult , it's better !
Nice photos. Beautiful place! I think Ireland is a little bit further away than Scotland , especially the region of Connemara lake.
But I believe it is worthwhile doing such a trip.
fantastic news : I was able to repair my injector.
I did what you said : I put injector in carburettor cleaning fluid for about 2 hours,
Then, I let it spray on my test bank and after 5 times pumping it sprayed beautifully and did not leak anymore
modified hydraulic car lifter for testing CiS injectors.
Very good new !
Now you know , never put injection cleaning in your tank with K Jetronic !
Next step , a beautifull picture with your car in a beautifull place !

will do, as soon as I have found the perfect location for my 928.
to be sure, today I also replaced my oil because of possible pollution due to petrol because
of the leaking injector.
Some iron sludge detected :
Is this normal?
Oil is about 1year old
No real large iron parts detected.
Very good new !

Hi Allan,
car runs good when warm. Fuel Warm Control Pressure is 3.6 Bar and is within specs. However I now encounter that starting the car takes longer than before : about 2 to 3 seconds before engine starts. Same when cold.
I have this since I cleaned my faulty injector.
Could it be related to my Fuel System Pressure which however was fine 1 month ago (5,8bar) ? Any idea what I should first check ?
Could system pressure be too low while my control pressures are fine ?
