Checked the injectors on my 1990 Ford Mustang And They Were Bad!

[@halecj1]

So I had this exact same problem with my 88 5.0. Most of them were completely clogged because the car had sat for so long. I just took all the injectors out completely and hooked each one to a car battery while sending brake clean through them to clean them out. Worked like a charm, didn't have to replace any injectors. Also much safer than your method of using fuel to test.

[@FtanmoOfEtheirys]

What I used to do 15 years ago when I lived with my parents still and could work on my own vehicles, i had a spare fuel rail and i would do what you said, but the rail was hooked to a tank of carb cleaner and pressurized with an air compressor to 50psi then used a flasher relay with a very low resistance resister to mimic a pulse, tho a slow one, similar to how fast your turn signals go when one is burned out?

[@theunskilledmechanic]

Great video! Check your computer. We recently bought a 1993 Foxbody 5.0, 5 speed manual. It sat for about 15 years and was non running. We replaced the gas tank, sending unit, fuel pump, fuel regulator, Bosh injectors, and some other miscellaneous items. The car ran, but not well. It ran rough and billowed smoke (as seen in our fuel injector installation video, if you’re curious). We ended up sending our computer out to a company that specializes in refurbishing them. It turns out that our main issue was that injectors 2 and 7 were stuck open, therefore causing the smoking. Once we received the computer, we changed the oil and fired the car up. It now runs and drives great! Best of luck to you!

Thanks for the interesting vids! The range of vehicles you work on can be best described as Anything and Everything! 😎

I’m not late model musty wang lover . I guess I’m just to big of a guy to fall in and climb out lol . This only me but I would find a little ranger to drop the hole drive train in and maybe the interior too , just me Issac lol

[@Flastew]

Great job on the injectors. That is going to make a great daily driver it will be fun, fast and it is a convertible, all very cool.

[@andyboyviking]

I've had good luck cleaning and testing injectors with cans of carb cleaner, the can has enough pressure to actually see the spray pattern. Hardest part is finding a rubber boot to adapt from the straw to the injector. I had one in my transmission vacuum pump kit. I just never felt safe transferring fuel (except diesel) with a 12v pump.

[@toddblais3060]

I double checked and rock auto has Bosch injectors for about 20 bucks a piece brand new. 8 will run around 200 bucks or less with shipping. Just an option.

[@veetwin75]

I always love watching an old Clint Eastwood western while working on my car too ::)))

[@raulmatias4938]

I'm still waiting on the Chevett build to get started

[@TIMMEH19991]

Just as you said the Biscaine was running fantastic I was thinking it was running as rough as a bears arse!!!! LOL

[@armedinbama]

"Sounds like a pissed off bumble bee." You took the words right out of my mouth! 😁👍

[@FoolOfATuque]

Awesome man! Maybe pull some SeaFoam through a vacuum line (not the booster line cause it could damage it) and then run some injector cleaner in the tank. The SeaFoam will knock carbon off the intake, valves, and injector tips. It’ll smoke like a banshee after you start it for a minute, but will clear up after. Hope you feel better soon!

[@drutang]

itll smoke for a a good COUNTRY minute. lol👍🏼👍🏼

[@joegreene6250]

It can also score the cylinder bores from all the carbon, so do this at your own risk.

[@Zombiereaper1]

A few years back one of the injectors on my truck wasn't working right. It wasn't bad, it was just clogged up and the outside components were worn out. I did some research and it turns out injectors are pretty reliable and rarely go bad during the life of the car. However the caps and seals wear out, what I ended up doing was buying a kit for $20 on ebay to rebuild them. It worked great, took me only a day and my truck ran fantastic afterwards, and saved me a lot of money since each new injector was like $90, or $60 each for remanufactured ones.

[@lukemeier1853]

Thanks for the teaser with the Biscayne, that was cool, sounds great! You should get a race calculator for the dash, no need to go to the strip! The mustang is interesting, I switched mine over to carburation and put a mechanical fuel pump on it with a 650 Holly and GT40 heads, no more fuel injection. That was such an incredibly durable reliable set up, won many races on the highway too...!

[@darrellnichter9894]

I use trans fluid for injector cleaner...works wonders on small engines too.

[@thesoulessginger3509]

I have a full set of 5.4 injectors I pulled from old truck motor I had. All worked great, yours if you want them. Should plug right in the 5.0

[@simonmusicka5552]

Another great video coming up thanx issac

[@JamesCouch777]

My Nissan Frontier was running really rough so I tried Sea Foam, it didn't help, Lucas, it didn't help, then I tried Shaeler Rislone two part cleaner and it worked like a charm. About 3 years later it started running a little rough again, put some more Rislone in and it cleared right up.

[@FloridaMan0561]

I grew up watching these ole fox body Mustangs tearing up the streets. I am definitely going to have one before I die. This is one of my bucket list cars,along with a first gen Nova!

[@allenmiller25]

Bosch fuel injectors for that car are 21.99 a piece at rock auto.

[@l.greenemachine66]

I've been wanting to do that on a 66 or 65 Chevy truck for over 20 years. Couple of friends of mine have trucks but I can't seem to find one around here anyway worth of darn. But I'm still trying cuz I want to beef up a straight-6 too!

[@marksmithson1414]

Isaac maybe do a Deirk Beires Italian tune up with a little bit of Berryman B-12 in it to clean injectors. Lol it'll be fine. Great job on locating the bad injectors. Can't wait to see what the Biscayne will do on the strip now and with the turbo swap.

[@6.7Rollin]

love that movie!.

[@davidowen888]

Definitely living a little dangerously 🤏💥 one stray spark away 😳☮

[@richardbrady2818]

Looked like some pretty risky testing there, had my fingers crossed, hope you got the fire ext handy too. I can only say just keep killin it

[@Groovemachine41]

I have an 87 5.0 GT and I took all the injectors out and soaked them in carb cleaner then pumped straight seafoam through each injector while cycling the injector solenoid... got a nice pattern after doing that. Those Ford (Bosch EV1) injectors are really tough and from my experience don't fail that often.

[@realslacker6110]

Watching you work on your mustang makes me wish I still had my 87 GT Cobra with T tops and the same paint job as yours!

[@ervingoertzen7233]

That Biscayne needs a 427/454 4 speed combo

[@mikeherrschaft7167]

The " Insane Biscane" sounds cool!!!

[@AndrewHCann]

Excellent video Issac :) also get a grey bottle of STP Total Treatment fuel injection and carb cleaner in fuel tank with 89 or higher octane gas to use! Also it clean thru system fast too and great sound Mustang car too is fuel cap on 3 click or more to fairly new on if not change it too plus check O ring on top by fuel tank door also cap sit on too has one if not get one may not be seal up okay! Give backfire lots !

[@markhuston6816]

Can you put rebuild kits on each injector Ike. We know they work electronically. The kits just mainly o rings you know that. But yeah they make good cleaners some work but my best experience with those injectors is Chevron. Mine is 1986 crown Vic it acts up and I add one bottle around every fourth fill up. The others only work sometimes or not at all. There a lot higher priced some cheaper. Nice car Ike and good show! 😁 Enjoying the beast Chevy. I'm old so heavy Chevy. I'd call her Groovy.

[@bigmonster1639]

Hangem high on the tv in the background nice

[@christophersnyder7002]

Please never change that rocker arm cover on the biscayne! That's a special cover now.

[@snizzytown5217]

Like the Biscayne and Mustang content 👍👍👍

[@isomer13]

Chem-Tool has always been a good starting point. Run a rich tank and see how it goes. I've got an old Bronco II that it worked wonders on. Even a pint or so of acetone in the tank will help clean injectors.

[@dannyoutlaw720]

That 6cylinder 8s going to be crazy fast with the turbo...put at least a 3500 stall in it so you can get up on boost if not it's going to be really lazy out the hole because of turbo lag....or you can put a 100 or 50 shot of NOS just for tfirst 60 foot just to get it up on boost .,it sounds awesome...

[@isaacitllbefine7231]

Id rather keep the manual trans in it

[@dannyoutlaw720]

@@isaacitllbefine7231 I was talking about the Biscayne ...

[@1982HondaATC70]

The Biscayne sounds healthy. Can't wait to see more videos of that running down the strip.

[@SaveAmerica-TRUMP2024]

Just pull the injectors. hookup a syringe to top of injector with 91% alcohol in it. push alcohol into injector as you pulse injector with a 9volt battery. make sure to clean any deposits on the tip of injector with a soft brush. I have used this method on many bad injectors and ended up bringing them back to life. Oh and $400 for injectors is crazy. Last time i bought used injectors for my honda (4 cylinder) it only cost me $30, and the guy ended up sending me 8 of them.

[@kennethdispain1807]

Dang it bobby looks like a great driver

[@montyhutchens4088]

I swear dude that straight six sounds really good.👍

[@larrydavidson3402]

It's running better so you made some progress. Keep plugging away at it and you will get it fixed as always.

[@wecatchfish9531]

You should ride that sporty some more.

[@mancsblue]

Fuel injectors are a pain in the ass especially as they get older . I know what you mean about the prices on them to replace them all .they are pretty expensive for what they are . The car seems worth it though . Pretty cool retro ride

[@henrydempsey8786]

Nice job on the injectors 👍👍👍👍👍 and on choice of western on the TV..I believe you're watching Hang um High? Clint Eastwood is the Man !!!

[@isaacitllbefine7231]

Lol. Correct

[@RearEngineShop]

This car is so cool! Sounds like it runs better.

[@NTromb]

I don’t know if you’ve already done this but you should do the update if it Doesn’t already have it done and that is the power steering return line upgrading it to a larger diameter Ford should do it free of charge or at least they used to get rid of that whine

[@NoWr2Run]

I clean my injectors out one at a time with a 9 volt battery & B-12 Injector Spray Cleaner. There's a bunch of Vids. on Y-Tube on how to do it. Some I've had to replace the screens in them, simple job.

[@davolbc]

Great video Isaac. The Biscayne sounds awesome. That sure was a Blair Witch ending though!

[@dave1135]

Another way to check if injectors are bad is to measure the resistance across the coil windings, I'm thinking ford was between 1.6-1.9 ohms

[@thomgram3298]

I love the tail light on the 90 5.0

[@donreinholz8121]

Can you try spraying some kind of cleaner through the old injectors to bring them back to spec?

[@tregiz]

Hope you’re doing okay! Good video!

[@ervingoertzen7233]

Always try cleaning them, yep they are pricey

[@mcsstudios101]

Injector wiring can be a pain. check all wires as well. I wish i could post pics...I had a 88 ford ranger pickup dropped with a 302 interceptor engine. It was fast.

[@SadPuppySoup]

Hope your feeling better bud. I run those injectors in my 2.0 neon, they give a noticeable boost over stock ones.

[@Grey_Beard72]

If you put a turbo on the Biscayne, I hope you install forged pistons or that it already has them.

[@patrickhartman6818]

Used two cans of Berryman B12 chemtool

[@tkskagen]

With the Biscayne idling, are the Rockers "Self-Clearencing"? There is a but of a "Tick"... So glad your Right Shoulder is getting better, but I miss the "Cooking with Issac" Video's. Can't wait for the "Cars and Cameras" Crew to make FULL use of the new shop! 👍

Any manifolds for twin scrolling for each of the turbos boosting 3 cylinders?

If you can get injectors of the 5.0 explorer they are 4 nozzle and work better. I didn’t know they had 4 nozzle. I bought myself Accel 3 nozzle car seems to run smother and has a little more power.

Have you tried mineral spirits instead of running gas through them when testing so you can clean them possibly

[@jasonpetrich4141]

If you gotta pull that intake again. Just replace all the injectiors, and the plugs while your in there... she sounds pretty good

[@sphishex6084]

this has all the makings of a Florida man special

[@snizzytown5217]

On the in-line 6 Fords I have built they run much better with a heater plate ( I used the heater hoses and metal ) where the stock log exhaust would normally fit. Otherwise you have poor drivability at temps less than 50 deg outside.

[@twocvbloke]

Yep, gotta be careful with injectors, they can have enough pressure to inject atomised fuel through your skin, which isn't a good time, cos it could result in using one of them caskets you have in the shop there... :S

[@Pugjamin]

You only get pressures that high on diesel or direct injection petrol injectors. Standard manifold injectors don’t have enough pressure to do that.

[@jamessimpson5452]

The Biscayne sounds sick for a straight six. I was wondering if injectors need to be flow matched for regular street cars? Great movie Hang 'Em High playing in the background.

[@BA-jv7yy]

the higher temp on header means it's lean

Clean the egr valve and the pcv valve,it can help for the correct idle,and low range rewing range.😆
