Replacing Injectors in your Focus ST

[@Mr_T_1986]

Ah baby arms lol! Not going to lie I was multi tasking and was like what the hell is he doing? Then realized it was a kids hand, best part of the video letting your kid get in on it. That's awesome!

[@Driven_Dragon]

First! Haha Glad you got jack blacks fuel problem solved. Dial in your timing and your ready for Spray. Good job Im with you.

[@chriskubond6314]

Got the little man helping out! That's awesome!! He's ready to play Coach lol

[@dominicksavers3010]

Great video to answer your question Ford dealerships charge around $2,300 to do this

[@dham99]

crazy considering you can buy the parts for about $300. The shops 'go by the book' on labor hours, then just stack jobs and make bank after finishing a '4 hour job' in 1 hour lol

[@bond8490]

At 9:27 a nasty spider walks by your dipstick lol

[@MrSodapop66]

Add a catch can like you did with Goldie. It slows down the coking effect on the intake valves. Vette guys and other DI engine guys have been doing it for a while. I put one on my 2016 High Country with the 6.2 right when I bought it

[@aaronwoodley3300]

took my st in to the dealship gettn vic running lean code and bad gas mileage they said its my fuel injectors they told me its going to be 1700$ for parts and labor to change my injectors yea ima do it myself. thx for the vid

[@hitmann8420021]

That's good you did make a video on it. I see STs all over port huron

[@brianlheureux5055]

Good video! I’m sure it’s going to help a lot of people.

[@SniderTron3000]

As long as it helps someone, then thats cool 🤙

[@whitneyduncan6523]

I liked how u had the intake back off during the outro

[@SniderTron3000]

Yeah, stuff gets filmed out of order a lot. Like how Roadkill will film their intro at the end of the episodes lol

[@Sircull121]

Most definitely I watched a video and it scared me like they complicated shit hard af

[@EADN20]

What symptoms did you car have that made you think it was the injectors

[@skylerthomas7443]

Ima buy a focus now just to have a reason towatch that video again. Keep up the good work.

[@SniderTron3000]

They're fun little fuckers lol

[@mikenethaway8571]

Thank you man. I'm going to do mine and was looking for a video and you came right up. Good video.

[@8gomerpyle22]

Fuel injector replacement must be one of the biggest cash cows for a dealer. I bet the mechanics laugh about that one.

[@Auggiebrn]

That's awesome that Nugget is getting some wrench time.

[@jessebudelman]

Thinking about doing this to help my ignition corrections issue on cylinder 3, comes up to about -3.xx/-4.xx on light to no boost. Already changed out plugs, might try a new coil pack if that doesn’t help then this is next. Hope I don’t have a bad piston ring, just got a new transmission installed last Sept/October. Lol

[@Ninety7Till]

Are you supposed to seat the injectors into the engine first ? When I did mine I seated them on the fuel rail first just wondering if it matters

[@SniderTron3000]

I don't think it matters

[@fixins]

What lead you to the diagnosis that the Ford needed injectors? Check engine light? Hesitation? Stalling? Just curious. Thanks for the content!

[@SniderTron3000]

I had a misfire on cyl. 4, changed plugs, still there. swapped injectors with #3, still misfired on #4. Swapped the injectors with #3 and it moved the misfire to cylinder 3. So, I slapped the injectors in(along with a fuel pump, unrelated) and that fixed it. The car is running way better than it ever has. My wife said she's been averaging about 34-35mpg, where we used to get about 29-30

[@megaetk]

@@SniderTron3000 was it a constant misfire? Or random?

[@juiced71]

Kickass brother! Nice job!!

[@captainturtlegaming8235]

Thanks man!! I been trying to find something on how to do them as well im a mechanic but i work at a gm dealer so i dont do other brands to often

[@Rebecca_The_Dragon]

My ST has always had an idle stutter from the factory that was intermittent. Wonder if its a bad injector. When i had my fuel system cleaned for the 15k service it went away for a solid 4-6 months before reappearing again. Did you have to do any kind of programming for these or were they just plug and play?

[@brianhodgins4682]

Could be the “Ford recal” evap purge valve. You’ll notice the idle stutter happening after a trip to the gas station and a full tank of gas added.

[@thewolf61691]

What was the issue with the injector?

[@parabolamadness]

What was the issue you had? I'm getting a misfire on cold start not bad enough for CEL and wondering if it's a bad injector. This motor is pretty hit or miss. So it could be a lot of things wiring, coils, the tune, carbon. Did plugs like 20k ago.

[@Random-gl3kw]

Did you solve the issue? I am Having the same problem on cold start up

[@outdat3d-04zx10r-ha]

Also wondering if you ever solved this....car is strong but also slightly hit and miss lol...did a "decent" diy valve cleaning can always be better but it's got an OCC now and FBO custom tuned...110k miles 14 ST2...I get the little cold start misfires they literally all do that but I always worry about slight idle dips and oil temps in hot weather seeing just touch above the half gauge...I've been advised by multiple people my temps are fine but still worry...my AFR and ign corrections are always good and my tuner said my logs look great so idk lol

[@victorespejo4219]

Well done! Just what I needed.✌🙂👌

[@richardsumner4214]

KEEP THE WIFE HAPPY !!! Life will be BETTER !!

[@gerthduramaxjosh9611]

Thanks brother looks like an easy job actually I’ve done harder things on my duramax anyway thanks again appreciate the con tent I got a 2013 with a misfire I was going to start with coil packs and plugs but if not no biggie I can do the injectors to

[@mathewvillarreal203]

What ended up being the problem?

[@dannyansell7844]

Hi, stumbled across this great vid. Please tell me, is this why there’s like a loudish hissing belt noise from all STs as they get older? You didn’t get that with the MK2s and my ST is loud as far as engine noise goes.

[@SniderTron3000]

I'm not sure, I haven't noticed that really. Could just be hearing the injectors. The fuel pressure for a direct injection engine is like 2,000 psi

[@barrystirling8693]

Great video mate very helpfull thank you.

[@pumpkinspicelatte1731]

Yoo you didnt torque the fuel rail down bro just wrenched it. That's something I'd wanna make sure is exactly right being that the fuel pressure on our STs hit over 2500psi at WOT. But other then that a decent video....EXCEPT you threw your old injectors out in the yard, send them to SP63 and have them flow checked and cleaned and back washed, all that good stuff so you have them in another 30 or 40k change those back in and take the replaced ones back out n cleaned, rinse n repeat.

[@stephenrolheiser6261]

thanks for sharing

[@DrivenbyGears]

I like the random videos!!!

[@focusst273]

Great Vlog, thank you!

[@dontworry7217]

6:10 the answer apparently is 1100$ so here I am watching u do it

[@stephenvalis7071]

Recent quote from the Stealer was 1700 dollars.

[@MrHnnnnnnnngh]

I was quoted $700 for walnut blasting, fuk that I'm gonna get the tools myself n methodically take care of it myself.

[@OldeCarrGuy]

Make sure you stick both fingers in to the petroleum jelly to lube up those o-rings! And then rotate them in a counter clockwise... oh wait! Wrong video! Now that’s embarrassing!

[@SniderTron3000]

Petroleum jelly has so many fun uses lol

Why did your fuel pump die?

Hi All, I have a focus st 250, mk3 2014, My car started to misfire/run uneven while driving at 60mph, I have checked the ECU and have a p0301 code, misfire cylinder 1. I have replaced the spark plugs, and swapped the coil packs around but no change. I guess the issue is possibly injector or compression related but not sure if injectors tend to fail and I am unable to test the compression. Does anyone have any helpful information or experience with this?

[@mikenethaway8571]

Did you get the recall done. Check your vin to see if its listed. It's for the purge valve.

[@XAVIER__MG]

Thanks a lot, now that i know its easy to do im going to buy them and replace them

[@rafatrill]

I'm curious how many miles are on the car?

[@SniderTron3000]

Almost 170k

[@rafatrill]

@@SniderTron3000 that's kind of low for injectors swap in my opinion. When we getting a garage update video?

[@SniderTron3000]

With these cars most of the people who said they had issues with carbon buildup happened around 60k, and I know the original owner of this car and they never did anything. So, I was pretty impressed lol

[@rafatrill]

@@SniderTron3000 so.....when we getting a Garage update video?

[@SniderTron3000]

Hopefully soon. If the weather cooperates, they might be able to get started on it tomorrow. The plan is to have the site leveled and the holes dug tomorrow and set the footings. But we're supposed to get rain for the next week again, so who knows

How long did it take

[@SniderTron3000]

Not long. An afternoon or so

@@SniderTron3000 did you feel any gains from it? What did you get out of it? I'm fbo but I plan to do more

Two words for cleaning GDI intake valves on a boosted engine: Alcohol Injection! Methanol is a helluva solvent. Edit to add: I didn't realize at first that was your kids arm with the wrench at the end...I"m like WTF is he having a stroke?

[@SniderTron3000]

Hahaha, "just put the fucking wrench on there OMG!" And yeah, I've been thinking about putting meth injection on it just to keep it clean
