i've brought this up before but i've renewed the drivers side injector rail as the rear injector was faulty. i picked up the car yesterday and it is still running like a pig. i removed the coilpack plug on the rear whilst the engine was running and the engine revs dropped which obviously means that one's ok now. however it now seems to be the middle one on the same side not working. i'm kicking myself as i took a chance on using a second hand injector rail which obviously doesn't come with any gaurantees. i'm at the stage now where a gallon of petrol and a match is the cheaper option!! if i can't sort it soon i will put it up for sale (as is), perhaps someone in the club might be interested in it. it's a jap tt.i can email details if interested

You aint sorted yet?crikey

What comes up on an ECU check (you probably have told me ages ago but cant remember)

hello mate,tell me about it, it took a while to get all of the parts etc and i gave the job to someone to do for me but he had it 2 weeks and as you can see i'm back to square one. my own fault for buying a 2nd hand injector rail.false economy and all that. i dont know how to check the ecu but the middle injector is definately not working

Try a seach for the ECU code check then see what you get.

I bet because of changing the rail you have knocked a connector at some point.

You sure it's the injector and not the coil pack ?

 

There will be people around here with spare standard injectors and it won't be hard to get a 2nd hand coilpack either, but to be honest it's more likley to be an electrical connection problem.

See what you get

 

It only takes 5 mins...

thanks for the info, the coilpack is ok, i have checked and used a spare i had anyway.as for connectors i know that some are broke due to heat but even they work ok except the d/side middle.if i pull either the coilpack connector or the injector connector off whilst the engine is running there is no change in engine idle

oh so its that one!

i will have to check the ecu code thing later as i'm at work at the moment

Do the check as it might throw up something else you didnt know you had!

yes i have swapped the problem of the d/side rear to the d/side middle .any ideas how much a new injector rail is?

Any news on your perdicament mate?

i dont know if this is a stupid suggestion but if only one of you injectors were faulty why change the others on that side? cant you replace the now buggered one with one of your old ones?

hi guys sorry for the late reply,i checked the ecu and nowt came up so i figured the electrics were ok. this is going to sound so pathetic and useless but reading the last thread from cpt. burberry i hadn't realised that the injectors came off the rail , i thought that it was one unit so to speak. i have just removed the middle injector off of the old rail to replace the faulty one on the fitted rail. well, you live and learn! just need to pop down to the local krap nissan dealer and get plenum gasket and start all over again.many thanks to ya!! oh yes just to add to the never ending list of things to do, iv'e fitted my delimiter and guess what, the speedo, mileometre and trip have stopped working so out come the clocks again! the zed is not a problem it's a fecking adventure!

well heres an update; just got hold of some 2nd hand coilpack connectors yesterday and replaced 3 broken ones and it fired up on all 6.took it for a run and it would occasionly drop to 5 and then pick up again. hopefuly i'm on the right track now.
