Hello, so when i bought the car few months ago i had from the start a ticking injector when accelerating, the seller told me he repaired 2 of them, 3 and 4 but when my brother connected it with diagnostics the 3 injector was off a lot, could it be problem with the first two not repaired or maybe 3 and 4 need recording? Or can they even work without recoding?
 
They will work ok without coding but obviously won’t be optimised. If they’re ticking, check they’re sealed correctly. Otherwise likely bad injectors.
 
Hi fahad thanks for reply, i replaced washers on first and second injector they blew in like first month of owning car, there is no blow by on any injector. Do you maybe know if Delphi ds150 clone can do injector optimisation? or it must be Honda HDS?
 
When you replaced the washers did you thoroughly clean the metal under the lower (cylinder head) and scrape away the gunge from the top injector where it clamps down on the copper ?

If not you will have to do it all again.

Mileage of the car may be useful and how many times it may have been done previously if you have service history to hand.
 
Hey yes i have cleaned it very well made it shine on the head, cleaned the injector where the washer seats i preheated copper, cleaned the hole and threads for claping injector bolt and torqued to spec, no blow from them, they might just be one of them faulty or might need coding.

Milege on car is 340 000km and there is service history but for oil changes few ball joints tires and nothing for injectors

Annealing requires heating to cherry red and then sudden cooling.

The ones I have used before (Bosch) are already processed/soft out of the packet so they don't need to be annealed.

If you have time to take injectors out again, take soem good pictures of the chamber after cleaning, there may be some pitting on the seal surface. I have provided images of mine somewhere on the forum. They had not quite made a path from centre to sidewall but it was close.

A suitable cutter for the removal is around £25 from the usual auction sites but use carefully as if you go too far then you have nothing left for the top wedge to clamp down on.
 
Yep thats what i did with cooper, i dont think it was Bosch but it was around 3.5€ for one cooper.
Probably i will take them off all four and send to specialist to check and repair them, i m just not sure if they will need coding after repair.
