injectors out.

[400sedave]

I'm going to whip out the injectors on the ol' 400 this weekend for Austec to clean. Anybody done this job before? any tips?

Yeah, you'll probably find you have to take half the car apart to get them out...

Don't bother cleaning them and putting them back....just substitute something like this

You will need to remove the trumpet base as well.

Getting them out is fairly straight forward,make sure you get the base "o" ring out as it sometimes comes of the injectors.

When replacing use a bit of vaseline on the "o" rings as getting them back in can be a bit awkward

Made a huge difference in terms of smoothness to my little S...

Don't know what you mean Rev.....The car is incredibly economical. I only used one full tank of petrol to the office the other day (110 round trip!!)

11mpg - driving carefully

Yup - it used to be about half that on track so I'm guessing around 4mpg now !
