Kevin the Slow in NYC
I've been dealing with an electrical gremlin for some time now; radio going dead and dashboard gauges racing and dropping flat and a "fluttering" of my engine when I press it hard. It seems to stall for a few moments before gaining speed, then lags. It's constant and is most noticeable above 3000 rpms in low gears. My Indy seems to have resolved the dashboard issue by replacing a frayed wire in a harness, but wants to replace an injector that, he says, is failing to inject fuel sporadically at high rpms.
I have a video of the gauge malfunction on my IPhone but I don't know how to upload it.
I trust my Indy, but I'm reluctant to change one injector and not all of them at the same time.
Thoughts of the collective body are much appreciated.

Techron can flush dirt particles? Laz - Monday, 14 May, 2012, at 1:30:55 pm |
Depends. If the particles are some kind of deposit that has broken free it is possible... MarcW - Monday, 14 May, 2012, at 2:39:29 pm |

I'd think something stuck in there by virtue of its own size and shape, and not because a sticky residue is holding it would remain lodged.
Also wouldn't a couple tankfuls (32 gallons!) of Techron be problematic? Maybe a 50/50 Techron/gas mix would be better.
Thanks, Marc. *NM* Laz - Monday, 14 May, 2012, at 5:47:55 pm |
Ok, that's different. The CEL behavior is classic 'misfire' behavior... MarcW - Monday, 14 May, 2012, at 2:06:19 pm |

The CEL comes on, but it turns off after a few seconds. My Indy is a Porsche mechanic, but I don't know the technical stuff about what tool he used or what codes he collected.
I do trust him, I was just concerned about changing one injector verses changing them all out. I'm going to ask questions tomorrow, but I'm inclined to take his advice.
Thanks for your help,

$22 each ain't bad at all. But what was the labor to remove and then reinstall? *NM* MarcW - Sunday, 13 May, 2012, at 1:48:24 pm |

I've tried the commercial fuel injector cleaners, but no luck. I will make sure he checks them all. *NM* Kevin the Slow in NYC - Monday, 14 May, 2012, at 12:15:01 am |
