Yesterday I was working on my niece's CDI=

when my friend Jeremy (bought the $1,500 CDI from his father Dave= post #31 this thread) called and said his CDI lost power, went into limp mode, and was making a "loud hissing noise". I told him to find a way to remove the plastic engine covers and have a look. He limped the car to an auto parts store and bought a T30 to remove the covers. He texted me back a video of #2 injector spitting out Diesel vapor ( what are the chances that a friend's CDI has the same problem as one I was working on at that exact time?). He had the car towed home, and I went there this morning to inspect it and take a photo. Sure enough, #2 and possibly #3 have catastrophic injector seal failure. We are not talking the gradual release of compression gasses that create the "Black Death" over time, but a hole large enough that it sounds like the injector or glow plug was removed, and the engine started. If I could upload the video, I would. It is pretty impressive. Jeremy will order the parts, and we will fix it together......Rich
