Serviced injectors are supposed to be used within 3 months of being serviced and stored In a sealed bag..... So one that was run than sat for 5 years is far from serviced. That's extremely suspect. I trust rebuilt bosch injectors over the brand new Chinese auto zone ones all day long. I have a great injector guy that does great work if you. House to send them out ( which I suggest anyway, for any wbxer, even those running "well"). Yes, they gum up from sitting, even on the shelf. -craig > On Oct 15, 2014, at 3:29 PM, Dennis Haynes <d23haynes57@HOTMAIL.COM> wrote: > > Compression - leak down test then try swapping the injectors if you know which cylinder is miss firing. > > Dennis, > From my phone. > ________________________________ > From: John Rodgers<mailto:jrodgers113@GMAIL.COM> > Sent: 10/15/2014 1:07 PM > To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM<mailto:vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM> > Subject: Dead Cylinder -91 Carat - 2.1 L WBX > > Heres the deal.
