Short life of Injectors?
Anyone know why a set of 850cc injectors would drop to flow rates of 325cc and 448cc? They were only in the car for around 6000 miles or so. I was wondering if maybe they got gummed because I dont drive it much since it's not the daily driver anymore. It also sat up for almost a year after it got broken into because a few days later when I took it to store it in a garage the motor blew in the driveway and got sent to gotham for 8 months waiting on backordered engines. Then when I got it back it sat up for usually 2 weeks at a time between drives. Think a cleaning would help them or are the just bunk injectors? They've cost me two engines thist past year. Last one only had 1500 miles on it and it warped all the apex seals in the rear.

When injectors sit for a long time they can get locked shut, gummed up and have horible flow rates. Locked ones sometimes never open again. Cleaning usually takes care of this.
