3 SIGNS THAT YOUR FUEL INJECTORS CLOGGED / STUCK OPEN OR GOING BAD (AUDI) OR ANY CAR

[@HostileMAV]

Another tip. You can check if the fuel injectors are stuck open by taking the spark plugs out and shing a light into the cylinders. Have someone open the drivers door and the fuel pump will presureize the system. If you see fuel spraying in the cylinder, then its a stuck open injector. Thats how I found a stuck injector on my MK7 GTI.

[@Gverrerob]

Did this on my 2010 a4 fuel just keep shooting into cylinder 3 meaning it’s staying open! Thank you for the tip!!! Now onto injectors haha!

[@ElRayDelRio]

This technique works! Who knew?!😮😅 Thanks @HostileMAV for the great tip 👏🏽 you the man

[@HostileMAV]

@@ElRayDelRio glad you found it helpful!

[@matthewk4497]

Would a cylinder misfire code be a symptom of a bad injector?

[@HostileMAV]

@@matthewk4497 Yes but it could be something else. Like spark plugs, coil packs. When I had the issue with the injector. I had no check engine light, the car just died in the middle of the road. Little did I know the engine was hydrolocked because cylinder 3 was flooded with fuel. I checked the codes and I had fuel-related errors and the misfire on cylinder 3. The fuel eventually drained into the oil pan. You'll have a fuel smell in the oil as well.

check your mass air flow sensor, and the camshaft sensor, do you have a obd elevenn, you may have a boost leak, or lastly your intake runner flap could be going out move it around and see if you have play in it, Also it could be carbon build up in your intake manifold, im going to leave a video on how to check. how to check for carbon build up kzbin.info/www/bejne/embVp4Ske66BfKs intake runner flap test got to 2:01 you can check it on the car, kzbin.info/www/bejne/maDXoKx8nLiXmZY boost leak check kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3iplGOMq9x9gMU
