I think I have got a injector failed, have done all the swapping of coil packs and plugs and cleaned all connectors. My next idea was to swap over the nearest injector connector to try and prove if it is the injector or a wiring fault, but not sure what triggers the injector to open so it still opens at the correct time. Any ideas? I dont have any testing equipment.

the cas unit at the front triggers the injectors. take out the cas (after marking its position) be careful as there is a drive lug from the camshaft that can break off i know as i have done it!!

then spin the spindle slowly and you should hear every injector click. but ideally you need a digital multimeter to check the resistance across the pins of the injector.

Thanks mate, so would swapping the connectors over cause the injector to open at the wrong time ?

yes it will fire at the wrong point of the cylinder stroke

what you can also do is remove the spark plug on the offending cylinder, connect a 9 v battery using wire to the injector,youll hear it click and see fuel spraying into the cylinder if its working.

THATS A CRACKING IDEA:thumbup1:

Thanks, will give it a go, or try and get a tester on it.

Just an update, got a cheap multi meter from Maplins and tested the injector reading was zero, spoke with Jeff at Zedworld and he is sending a second hand injector out. Cheers.
