Td5 injector fault.

[Bill]

Had a misfire yesterday that sorted itself out by the time I'd spoken to my local garage and turned the car back on, it's also occasionally happened on first starting the car in the morning but sorted itself by the time I'm off the drive.

The generic OBD reader found a fault "111 - injector 1 long pause delay". The obvious answer is to get it into my localish Indy and replace it but I thought I'd check if anyone knew an easy fix?

If you do need to get the injector replaced, it has to be coded to the car via nanocom, I think Hawkeye can do it too. Before you do that, you dont have oil leaking into the ecu from the injector loom causing the issue?

On D2boysclub already, but didn't think to ask. A bit of googling has thrown up the oily loom as a potential cause too so that's my first call when I get a chance, ta.

Misfire at idle, or under load at higher revs?

Get the injector loom checked first. Easy to do and if that has oil in it then it will give the mis-fire and fault code that you have. ....ETA sorry just seen Bill reply; wot he said

Both. It occasionally does it briefly on starting and the one occasion it did it while I was driving it still did it after I'd pulled over.

Got a moment now so I'm off out to have a look...

Christ on a bike! I'd forgotten how grim trying to wield a spanner was when it's cold. Looks like there's oil I the loom that hasn't got as far as the ECU. Plus a leaky rocker cover gasket...

My Defender had that and was running really rough. After repair it still had a slight misfire, which was tracked to a faulty fuel injector. Fingers crossed it's just the oil in the loom for you, those injectors are rather pricey.
