I removed the injectors so that I can have them tested this week, but I thought I would show a few pics and ask a question or two. The test will tell me plenty I imagine, but wanted to see what yall thought based on pictures.
This week I removed, disassembled and cleaned up all 5 injectors. They were completely cleaned up, including bottom where needle pokes thru, as well as heat shield underneath.
First thing that is obvious, is that one of them has a smaller diameter heat shield. I'm assuming the large ones are correct. What would one smaller do?
Also, the most I drove this car after cleaning injectors was up the driveway to move it for awhile (smoked wildly), then back to what is becoming it's all too familiar spot. Upon removing injectors, the front two were wetter underneath,, but also cleaner. The back 3 were already fairly carboned-up. The closeup shows almost a burn pattern on the bottom. Is any of this normal. 4 injectors have 172 stamped on them. The front one had 170 stamped on it. Meaning???
If work isn't crazy tomorrow, I'm taking them for testing. let my fingers do the walking today, and have several places to choose from.
