As I stroll through the records left to me by the previous owner, what should I find... replacement of one fuel injector. No idication of which one, but I'll bet it's #6.
How does one go about checking for an "open" injector. I figure it'll be easy to check the new ignition wire, but I doubt that's the culprit (the chances of a bad wire being replaced with another "new" bad wire are slim). What about the dist. cap? I didn't replace that. Might that be responsible?
I'm also sure the car sat for some time at some point in it's life (55k miles for a 13 year old car), so it is possible that some "critter" has nested in the shroud. How could I check for this???
As for checking the plug after a quick test run... I'm not too keen on shoving my hand back to #6 after the motor has warmed up. I like the smell of cooking meat only when it's coming from the BBQ grill.
Here's some more data for those of you who consider yourselves 911 sleuths.
The PPI I had performed at 45k miles revealed the following. Compression was from 180 to 170 (#6 was the lowest) and the leakdown ran from 4.3% to 7.1% (%6 also being the highest).
People can flame Warren all they want, but it seems to be he's got a pretty damn good working knowledge of 911's.
Thanks more,
