Quick Injector question

If I look at my injectors and they seem to be spraying at idle like normal but one of them has a steady drip of uel does this indicate a faulty injector?

Re: Quick Injector question

I believe that would be your faulty injector. It is not suppose to drip.

Re: Quick Injector question

Failed O-ring is the most common drip issue. Try a new O-ring set first.

Could also be loose screws or cracks in the pod.

Re: Quick Injector question

Ok I will check it out, I have just rebuilt the TB 2 years ago including all new O rings and screens on the injectors. I know these injectors are not cheap new.

Re: Quick Injector question

Okay, So I just took a a good look at both of them, the one on the left seems like it has a slight drip within the cone... BUT both of them have a drip that runs down the inner sides of the "injector holders" into the ports the leak is not from the gasket but looks like the actual injector where it sprays., not sure that that part is normal.. I can try to get a video of it. There should be no drips at all on either side??

The only problem I have is a wierd idle "shake" problem after car is warmed up at stop lights, could these be the culprit?
