Hi people,

 

Ok, my 300 has been suffering from a non firing cylinder when cold, and lately not at all. I first put the problem down to my airfilter getting damp and upsetting the maf, but this was not the case. I investigated fully today and this is what i found.....

Engine not running on no.2 cylinder (first cylinder on right as you look at engine), so i checked the readings on the coilpack connector and found to be the same as the rest, thus good electrical connection and signal. So i pulled the plug on no.2 and was in good condition and wet from fuel. So i checked the injectors with a screwdriver for the "clicking", was good on all 6 but, found no.2 was clicking but only very faintly, so i took the plunge and removed the injector (forgot to de-pressurize the tank and got a spurted with fuel...lol). The basket looked a little clogged, so I gave it a good clean in fuel, cleaned the o rings, greased it up and refitted. Turned the ol' girl over, grumbled a little, then roared into life. Checked the injector with a screwdriver and was clicking nice and loud, as the rest!!!

Now maybe the basked was clogged or the injector is on its way out (hope not), but all seems fine now. Happy days!!

 

Just thought i'd share this little issue i had with my 300.
