Car Forum / Porsche / Porshe 944 / January 2009Leaking Injector
I have a 1984 944. I discovered a leaky injector tonight when I parked the car in the garage and the central air sucked gasoline fumes throughout the house. My wife and I were not a very happy about that. I need to know wether I should try to remove and reseat the injector, replace the o-rings, replace the injector, or what. Is it difficult to change, replace or remove injectors? Is there somewhere on the web that has some good instructions on how to deal with injectors? Most of my car experience is with carborated engines. Thanks for any help. How is that injector leaking? Externally or Internally inside of the engine? It sounds more like an external fuel leak! You probably would not smell an internal leak since that should stay in the engine. Externally will usually show as wetness on the outside of the injector. Replacement is probably the best way to go. Look at how much you will save from not losing fuel anymore. ;-) BTW I don't think that your central air should be pulling the air from the garage or that any fumes from the garage should enter the house. :-( >I have a 1984 944. > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Thanks for any help. Thanks for the input AKA. Gas is bubbling out from around the base of the injector. It is clearly visible. _______________________________ It does seem like a bad design that the air from the garage can be sucked into the house. I'll look at that too. Rick by "base" do you mean the top end that enters the fuel rail? if so, change the o rings that seal it. If you mean the end that goes into the manifold, then the injector is probably cracked and you need to replace it. > Thanks for the input AKA. > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Rick nsr.rick@gmail.com wrote in news:d826a8e7-b0ce-4cb0-9a4a-40dbf505a5ce@v5g2000prm.googlegroups.c om: > I have a 1984 944. > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Thanks for any help. http://www.clarks-garage.com/shop-manual/fuel-12.htm http://www.clarks-garage.com/shop-manual/fuel-02.htm http://www.cannell.co.uk/944_workshop_Manual/Vol1-engine.pdf Good Luck.
