ok...well i just got done replacing the intake manifold gaskets and all 8 injectors with accel 24lbs suprise suprise didnt run right didnt know where to look...so i took it to a shop $400 dollars later find out its a DEAD INJECTOR ****in accel pieces of ****, anyway its gonna be under warranty from who i bought it form but accel told me to f*ck off thats a diffeent thread ima start a class action lawsuit against them

so in the mean time whats the fastest way to removing cyl #7 injector and replacing it...any ways of cheating so i dont have to take the fu*kin intake apart??

 

how do you know that there is something wrong with the injector, what exactly is it doing to not run right?
to change the injector, you have to pull the plenum, runners, and fuel rail

 

No matter what, your going to need to pull the fuel rail which means your going to need to pull the plenum. Won't take you more than 30 minutes to get it done. have fun.

 

used an injector balance tester...and #7 is getting proper pulse from the ecu, using a diode, but using the balance tester which tests each injector indvidually its dead....no sound what so ever...and fuel pressure doesnt drop for that injector

 

How do you know fuel pressure doesnt drop for that injector if you havn't taken it out and tested the rail?

If you spent $400.00 for a guy to tell you you have a bad injector, i'd think about either getting a new mechanic, or perhaps a manual.

Because the injector balance test is done with all injectors in place on the engine.
You use a tester like the one actron sells that pulses individual injectors while you watch the pressure drop on a rail mounted gauge. No need to remove any injectors for this test.

Sorry to say porky...you'll have to remove the plenum and at least loosen the runners so you can get at the fuel rail bolts.

 

Ohhhhhhhh. I thought he meant he tested the rail on the #7 spot to ensure it didnt have a pressure drop.. I.e, rail clogged.

I guess the mystery is over, the injector is junk.

yea....why i paid a mechanic $400
well i had just done an intake manfiold gaskets all 8 brand new injectors....so that was the last place i was gonna look....i was htinking a bad computer maybe...

oh well damnit another $30 downt he drain for new gaskets...again...i wish i had the money to throw these accels away ****in piece of junk is what they are.
