RE: Fouled plug, injector problem - exhaust manifold crack?



There's one more item that bothers me about the problem with my Spider. I put my stethoscope against the #4 injector and I can hear it clicking away as it should. It sounds about the same as the rest. If I unplug it, it stops. So the injector sounds like it is activating.

Just another data point in my diagnostics.

Jeff and everyone else,

Thanks for the pointers. I swapped plugs between #3 and #4. The problem stayed with #4. I also checked for spark using a grounded spare plug. Spark checked out okay. I installed a new plug on #4 (Bosch Platinum is all I could find locally). Again, the problem did not change.

Is it possible (and easy) to test the injector connection? What should I do next? Order a new injector? :-)
