I only ask because I don't fully understand what injector leak back is. :-)
Hi John, yes that's just about right.

What you are seeing with the fuelling compensation figures in the live data screen of T4, is the adjustments the ECM is making to the individual injectors to keep the engine running smoothly.

You normally find an injector which is performing poorly having slightly more fuel injected and it's counterpart leaned off slightly.

T4 itself cannot actually detect "leakback" but the figures as presented give the operator a clue as to where a problem may be brewing in the background.

What I'm suggesting costs much less and is far easier than replacing injectors

I have seen many cars improved using this method, so have a bash, you may be pleasantly surprised

Brian
