Technical bravo on three cylinders

[TheCROW]

Just for curiosity
If anyone knows please fill me in: Which injector for which model?
2 holes for 1.6 MK2 and 4 hole for MK1 or vice versa?
Thanks.

if its a 1.6 model the resistance of each injector should be 14.5-15 ohms

Thanks for correcting me ,I stated 8 ohms cause I done a old style multipla other week (1.6) & I was getting approx 8 ohm.Basically your looking for a 'abnormal' reading from one (or more?) injectors.

found a scrap X reg fiat brava 1.6 identical engine the older engines look completely different and the fuel injectors are in a different place so pretty sure the fuel injectors are the same.

gettin the full fuel rail for £40 so £10 a injector will test to make sure the work of course. how hard a job is it to get this fuel rail out it looks quite hard as it is under the engine?

do u need to replace the gaskets on the inlet manifold when changing one of the injectors?

 

[T14086]

No. Dont need to remove manifold completely just loosen it off.

you leave the lower inlet manifold attached to the head, but loosen or remove the upper inlet manifold, which has a black rubber gasket inbetween the upper an lower parts. rubber gaskets are reusable.
