Could a bad fuel injector be the cause of my problems?


Recommended Posts

1992 Comanche 4.0 5speed etc etc 

 

Having a few issues I think might be related. Backfiring through the TB, smell of gas in the oil and the levels arent staying even. Sat for awhile with a small RMS leak and has more gas now than it did a month ago. I replaced my injectors with some 4 points (never doing that again). Did a few other things at the same time and trying to track down what is causing stuff like hard starts after sitting (feels like no fuel getting to the injectors) and shaky idle. Thanks

From what I've researched you don't need to change the regulator on the HO motors. Battery has been reset a few times since its been done (almost 6 months ago right before winter). 

 

Depends on the injectors you used. What are they? What are their specs?

Sorry to hijack, but what about the yellow bosch injectors? For an 87 4.0 5spd? Do i still need to change the regulators?

These are the so-called "Neon" injectors, Bosch 0280155703. They are designed to operate at 21.5lb/hr @ 39psi & 24.0lb/hr @ 49psi, and are for OBD2 vehicles with a fixed regulator operating at 39 psi w. vacuum. 

 

I have a set of these I'm going to throw in the stroker, and also have an adjustable FPR that can operate at 39psi and 49psi (w/o vacuum). I'm running stock OBD2 injectors now at 39psi w. vac. The 703 injectors are way too much for a stock Renix 31psi / 39psi regulator.

Sorry again for the late reply. Its a HO motor (1992) 4.0. I might've got some bad info but when it warms up a bit more I'm probably just going to go back to the stock injectors. The only aftermarket anything it has is 31 tires and a 2 inch lift. Going to put some 3.55 geared axles in her this summer and level her out with some new 1 ton springs. Hopefully the injectors won't matter at that point just need to get her running good again. I feel like there is a leak somewhere in the fuel system and its not keeping pressure. Leaky injector is the cheapest possibility and would explain the gas in the oil.
