Curious if anyone has experienced sticking ND injectors as I have. The car is not used very often. In winter or poor weather, I start it up once every two weeks, and float charge the battery at other times.
Quite often a misfire on one cylinder occurs if not started every couple of days. Usually it disappears in a few seconds. Today, it persisited. The exhaust did not smell of fuel, so my best guess was a sticking injector. A couple of light taps with a hammer and 1/2" socket extension on the fuel rail cured the problem.
The injectors were bought new from GReddy. They should not leak during periods of shutdown. Thus, there should be no gum from stale fuel present to cause the sticking. Moreover, the misfire occurs on only one cylinder. The fuel is high quality BP-Amoco.
Any and all replies would be appreciated. Have a good memorial day weekend.
