I Lost A Cylinder

[yokotas13]

Ok heres the problem

I hit a bump, and BAM

Shit started smoking (white), adn through elimination its #1

WHen you unplug the fuel injector it is fine, smoke goes away

plug it in, smoke city

it runs on 5

when i plug #1 injector in, it wants to die in like 2 seconds flat, and will only stay running, barely with some throttle.

all 6 plugs have same appearance

all 6 cylinders have same compression, wiht no loss within 5 minutes of pressure.

i cant figure this shit out.

any ideas?

I also swapped #1 and #2 fuel injectors, same problem

i haevnt done the coil packs yet.

any ideas?

i have never had this happen to me....

maybe get the injector flowed and tested? Since you already have the knowledge on taking them out, them simply remove it, clipseal bag it, and take it to someone that has an injector flushing and flow tester.

When you swapped the injectors the problem stayed in cylinder 1?

Then you have a wiring issue. Probably a short to earth in the injector 1 trigger somewhere.

I had a similar problem but on a RB30, it was a faulty wire that kept the injector open.

but if they injector stayed open, why is it white smoke?

RIch is black smoke, thats why i eliminated that idea???

[CruiseLiner]

do a leakdown test i think, white is oil usually

[yokotas13]

i did a compression test, all 6 cylinders held the same pressire within 1-3 psi

left it for 5-6 minutes each, same reading still.....i put it all together today again

and

it um....kinda just fixed itself

i got some 550s and a new coilpack comming to be safe....weird
