Injector - what would happen if I?...

[02BLUR]

My ECU has problems, so I'm gettin another, but in the mean time I am stuck at home. The problem is that the #1 injector won't stop, it just squirts like a shower, flooding the hell out of the motor. If I disconnected the faulty injector(the electrical signal), would that be bad?

Do you plan to drive it with no injector in cylinder 1 if so then yes it would be very bad. Could cause a lean condition and in extreme cases burn a whole in your piston. Also if the hole were the injector is, is not plugged gas will pour out, and be bad, Now if you don't plan to drive it, and you diconnect the injector conector plug, then that would be fine, AS LONG AS YOU DON'T DRIVE IT

Unplugging one of the injectors wouldn't cause a lean problem because there wouldnt be any fuel burning. But it is really bad to drive on it becuase the gas helps to lubricate the cylinder some and may cause scratching in the cylinder wall.

Yea, it'll just run like crap, couple weeks my friends #3 injector came unplugged, we were heading to the karting track, and were trying to figure out why the car ran like crap. It ran, just badly... I wouldn't really recommend it.
