CFI-EFI | A Different Cleaning Problem | ||

Here is a question I haven't seen addressed before. I wrote a huge post detailing all the circumstances, but long story short. How can I clean a TBI fuel injector, where RTV has been used in the fuel system? After a few weeks with no apparent problems, suddenly it no longer sprays at all. Is there help for this?

Do you want to clean them yourself or send them out and have them ultrasonically cleaned? I know FIC does cleaning/rebuilding for a very reasonable price.

Maybe I misunderstood. I thought this section was a vendor site for FIC. I am aware FIC cleans, services, and rebuilds fuel injectors. That is why I posted here. I was seeking professional advice on this particular situation. If I was predisposed to sending it out, I would have already done that. Should I have sent FIC an e-mail? Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. What I quoted is where you lost me. I have not noticed a different spray pattern between my front and my rear injectors. Have I not looked closely enough? I never noticed a "half cone pattern". Also, it isn't clear to me, which you are saying "This IMO hinders the performance.", the OEM or the after market injectors. Is the silicone a unique situation? Is this something I can deal with at home, on my own? Would it help if I posted or e-mailed the long detailed description of the circumstances? Thanks. RACE ON!!! |

Jon, Thank you. I have long been aware that the front and rear TBs used different injectors. The only difference I have heard of was in the flow ratings. I have never heard before of a different spray pattern nor have I ever noticed one. Certainly, I will look closer. With the swirl plates beneath the TBs and the plenum of the manifold as it is, I can't imagine the purpose. You are the expert. I appreciate the info. Your information and speculation concerning silicone getting into the injector is encouraging. I will take you up on your offer, and I will e-mail all the details surrounding my problem. Thank you.
