What is connected to what, what volume is expected for a good injector and what is indicative of a faulty injector. What is disconnected, what is done to stop the engine from firing, in other words what is the procedure in detail?.Ivf anyone has time to explain the process in detail , much appreciated, thanks

Arctic's link explains the results, and to carry out the test just remove the leak off pipes from the injectors and clamp the pipe off to prevent fuel leaking back as the pipe also returns excess fuel from the HP pump - you can see the clamped leak off pipe to the left of the photo:

Then fit the test pipes to the injectors and as mentioned run the engine at idle and check the leak back from each injector.

Thank you for posting links and offering an explanation of the test, all very useful information, look forward to a pictorial explanation at some stage, thank you all again.

One small tip for carrying out the work; the leak back pipe connections can be quite tight to pull out after the spring clips have been removed. Don't try and lever them up by placing anything under the pipes as they will break. Grab the top of the connection with a small pair of mole grips or pliers and pull directly up, twisting slightly if required.

Is the leakback test necressary if he can get the car to the Nano meet and have diagnostic check using a T4?

[Arctic]

Hi Al.
he could get both done at the meet if he wants to make the journey, but i think he is giving up on it from another thread i read.

It started up agian to allow me to get it on the drive but then would not start . With the fuel guage being around the 1/4 full as the car was parked on my sloping drive thought the fuel guague may be faulty and it had ran out of fuel? put 2 gallon in but still no joy, made sure fuel was getting through which it was and both pumps working. Eventually it started after a weekend of trying and recharging battery. Ran fine all week until yesterday when exactly the same thing happened again after the same journey. Cut out at top of drive , started again to get it on drive then wouldnt start, this time it was full of fuel. went to it this morning and it started first time . Any pointers please?

While I see that the OP is now considering scraping the car, could anyone get to him with a T4?? As the issue sounds similar to one I had a few years back where the pressure sensor on the HP fule pump was failing. The car would run fine for a while then just cut-out, some times re-starting there & then sometimes refusing to start.
Andy (Trikey) came round with his T4 and diagnosed on the spot, with a chat with the orical MarinaBrian.
Replaced the sensor job jobbed
