Thanks a lot for your videos. After replacing my injectors, coils en bougies on my 320i n43 I got a rough running engine en misfires on cylinder 4. Due your video I coded the new correct values en removed the fault code. Engine runs smooth and no more misfires! Thanks a lot!

[@LMAutoRepairs]

😊 That's great! Thank you for watching and for your comment! 👍👍👍

[@otodidakchannel7417]

Just replace injector 4?and everything ok?

[@normanstephens5391]

As usual, a comprehensive diagnostic approach and a satisfactory conclusion to the problem. Well done. 👍👍

[@LMAutoRepairs]

😊 Thanks! 👍👍👍

[@temejumbo9794]

Nice vid, had a similar issue on BMW 535I GT 2010 cylinder 1 was misfiring. Owner was told he needs to replace all six nozzles, he asked me to take a look which I did. Took out nozzle out found out it had carbon deposit blocked the tips. Used a pin to clear it, replaced the nozzle and done car ran smooth after wards. It's all about paying attention to details.

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Very true as well... 👍👍👍

[@patelvivek4888]

That was great one. I keep loving the way u approach the issues.

[@LMAutoRepairs]

😊 Thanks! 👍👍👍

[@beluxauto5968]

This was something new for me . I do a fair amount of injector replacements and coding . I never experienced a misfire due to wrong or not coded injectors . Flow rates off yes but a true misfire never and if I would have that particular car I would do the coding and would be really surprised that it fixed the problem . Great video Luis . I learned something today .(edit) I have had cars that needed to be updated , but this solved rough idling .

Me neither to be honest... But this one was how it played out... Thank you for watching and for your comment! 👍👍👍

[@mrgrumpy5116]

well done, bit of a tricky one if you don't know that the injector values need to be in the ecu, it won't catch you out next time I know.

[@a.a.2677]

Nice find, I wouldn't have thought that those numbers on an injector must be a perfect match with what's recorded in the ECU memory, in order for a motor to run.

[@LMAutoRepairs]

[@Elmantukas]

Very good and in depth diagnosis there! ive got a 325i that has rough cold starts, cylinders 5 and 6 always run rough on cold starts, misfire counters go up by allot but it doesnt illuminate the cel, will be pulling my injectors out to see if they are leaking, although spark plugs are always very dry and no smell of fuel, injectors are the index 11 ones, ive changed everything, spark plugs, coils, vanos solenoids and all o2 sensors, no change haha, my final conclusion are the injectors but they are coded correctly... im thinking that since cyls 5 and 6 run the hottest, my seals have gone, if not then il leak check them just to be sure, if not then i guess il just have to cry myself to sleep. 😀

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Hi Hope you find the issue, might worth a compression test just to make sure... 👍👍👍

[@Elmantukas]

@@LMAutoRepairs well... today was the day when I finally got all the seals and decoupling rings, and i took the injectors out, only to find them covered in oil as a few years back i had a rocker cover gasket leak, and... absolutely no decoupling rings in all injectors! The csr had the injectors replaced to index 11 under warranty, whoever did it were utter donkeys! Cleaned everything out replaced the teflon seals and decoupling rings on bank 2 and jeez she runs like never before! I think what happened is that there was no seal for the injector bore, the oil slowly ate away the teflon seal and on cold starts it had compression loss, cylinders 5 and 6 being the hottest ones must have accelerated the process as other cylinders ran fine, ish... but yeah problem solved! Ordered three more to do bank one and she should be sorted fully, only took a year to get to the bottom of the issue.

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Great results! Happy for you! 👍👍👍

[@stevetaylor2445]

Hi Lewis I was wondering if you have any plans to build a diy pulse sensor or purchase one from Rotkee to use with a scope for missfire finding or confirmation? The cylinder stroke overlays are very handy as well.

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Possibly in the future... 👍👍👍

i notcied it is index 12 injectors? those are for n54 engine, but not for n43. also, i noticed you didnt have decouplers on injectors?

[@ahmedledraa572]

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Thanks! 👍👍👍

[@Telstar_1]

Thanks for a really informative video. I've had my BMW E90 318i N43 since 2016 at 35k miles (now 130k) and never had injector issue previously. I now have these fault codes with the car barely idling and just stalling and engine light on: P311B 2E32 fuel injector, cylinder 3, activation 30AE fuel injector, cylinder 3, activation I guess all this points to a leaky fuel injector and fouling of the spark plug, but interested you mention the electrical connections to the injector should be checked too. Is it Ok to pull and replace injectors like this without worrying about the seals?

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Ideally you change the seals, but to test you can definitely do it, once you find the problem, you can then replace all the seals... 👍👍👍

Hi LM Auto Repairs, I have a question. I have the 120i E87 with 170 HP and a problem. Sometimes the whole car jerks, but only when it's warm. If I then increase the revs to 3000 rpm at idle, the error disappears, but only sometimes. The fault memory is empty and the spark plugs, ignition coils have already been replaced on all 4 cylinders. According to the workshop, the injectors are also running well. Maybe you know what the problem might be.

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Difficult to say... Maybe live data will be able to help you... 👍👍👍

Luis, the unbutcher! Always fixing other people sh*t shows. Off topic: topdon as a new scan lineup that seems very promising and the price seems to be good so far. Was the artipad a good experience?

Hi there , A quick question as you might be able to help me!😊 , I have a misfire on cyl2 , tried to see my injectors value and compare them like you did above but noticed that they are all 00000 , went and get them with a camera so I can code them again (I use autel) but it will not let me ( give error on all 4) please let me know if you even encounter this ! Ps :cylinder no 2 has index 11 others have index 8 , thank you .
