Generally it's fuel pumps or injectors. |

Thank you. I've replaced two fuel pumps over the past two months. One in the fuel tank the other at the rear - one left to replace in the engine? |

Why not bung in some fuel system cleaner before you start on the injectors? |

because the fuel cleaner is not going to fix the overflow issue

I had injector failure, but once it was running it ran ok on all 6 cylinders. It was just at the start that it didn't work. It also got progressively worse until it wouldn't start without easy start.

Not according to the many experiences of members on this forum, in the thread I referenced. Who's mentioned wd40? Or even magic potions for that matter? Stan, mine was terrible when hot. What was happening was the dodgy injector was de-pressurising the rail and sending the fuel back to the tank. Once it was up and running there was enough pressure to run ok. My only point is a cleaner may clear a blockage in an injector and is worth a try. If it doesn't then a leak off test is probably next port of call. |
