Will this cause #8 cylinder have gas coming out if I take plug out

[@HonestMechanicChannel]

In most cases yes, it can be a sign of a leaky one

[@shloonLloon]

Hello, I have a higher fuel consumption then before. This is from recently when i did egr delete since the car was leaking vaccum. So i did a delete. With software and blanked it. Now i have a sluggish car before the boost kicks in. Its a audi 3.0 bitdi. I do have one injector dirty. So i changed the o ring. But could it be i need to clean the injectors?

[@chadoooz]

I need some guide pls. So i have a p0300 and p0304 that i cant clear after replacing plugs and ignition coils. Then i tried to do the unplugging the socket method on each coil and doing so 1,2 and 3 will make my engine erratic and 4 will stay the same by then i tried moving the plugs and coils from other cylinder to 4 and its still the same. So am i right to assume that the injectors are clogged? Im just frustrated bc this is a 2017 nissan Rouge with 16.5k miles that is barely used 😂

Use a multimeter in test all your fuel injectors out one by one also look at your orings if any look damaged or tore they need to be replace if all your fuel injectors ohms not reading the same then they need to be replace in while u at it look at all your spark plugs as cause a bad fuel injector will burned out your spark plugs

[@chadoooz]

@@dariusstack still unable to fix the car sadly. So far, i had the injector on cyclinder 4 replaced but it still the same errors and problems. I tried calling a mechanic but just told me to basically send the car to the dealer since they need to check the computer or electrical diagram or something or scan the whole system or something idk. This Nissan rouge is trash lol.

@@chadoooz Gm do you changed all your fuel injectors as a set or just one in did you changed all your spark plugs as a set or just one

[@dariusstack]

@@chadoooz after u did all the replacing did u clear your codes or u for got to clear your codes after the repair was done

[@dariusstack]

@@chadoooz look at the resistance with multimeter on your fuel injectors if it’s too low or too high u need some new ones i went through the same issue except mines was clogged the o rings was damaged in the fuel injectors was done completely bad

Will a bad fuel injector make your car jittery ? Like my car kind of struggles when I push the car 65% throttle and kinda bogs into the speed.

My car’s fuel efficiency has gone done significantly, but the others symptoms listed are not present. Could it still be the fuel injectors or something else? Spark plugs and air filter was also changed to try and address the problem but hasn’t helped.

[@HonestMechanicChannel]

Hey there, A significant decrease in fuel efficiency without other obvious symptoms can indeed be challenging to diagnose. Considering you've already replaced the spark plugs and air filter, which are common culprits for such issues, let's explore other potential causes: 1. Oxygen Sensors and Airflow Sensors: Faulty sensors can provide incorrect data to the car's computer, affecting the air-fuel mixture. This can cause the engine to run rich (too much fuel) or lean (not enough fuel), both of which can reduce fuel efficiency. 2.

[@CatherineMelillo-uy7gr]

Thanks for the reply! I haven’t replaced the fuel filter no, is there a certain amount of mileage where it should be checked?

@@CatherineMelillo-uy7gr Gm did you fix your car

[@nicolelynn9159]

Can you please help me? We have a 2020 Ford Edge. When we begin to accelerate, the engine does a shimmy feeling. Thankfully it doesn’t stall. But it’s concerning. Can you tell me any ideas you think it could be? Thank you!

My car has a miss I changed plugs could the injector be totally plugged with no fuel coming out

[@HonestMechanicChannel]

Hi, Yes, it's possible that a fuel injector could be completely clogged, leading to no fuel being delivered to one of the cylinders, which would cause a misfire. If you've already replaced the spark plugs and the misfire persists, checking the fuel injectors is a good next step. You might also consider looking at the ignition coils and the fuel filter, as these can also be sources of misfires.

[@evyproductions8836]

You check coils?

My truck is a 2015 Silverado i changed cylinder 8 then my truck sounds like choppy idle when it’s on
