Finished my clutch install. And took the car for a spin (2g gst)
car has some hesitation. There is a very loud clicking, almost sounds like electricity arcing. seems to be coming from my fueling injector #2. engine seems to be miss firing at idle and the exhaust smells rich. (engine rocks back in forth every few seconds). When I unplug injector #2 there is no change in idle or performance. If I push the gas pedal engine revs as normal. if I disconnect injectors 1,3 or 4 the idle drops and the engine comes close to stalling. when i reconnect 1,3 or 4 engine returns to normal function of misfiring every few seconds and rpms increase to 800 to 900.
here is the weird bit. when I disconnect injector #2 the clicking still occurs. but since my idle doesn't change like when I disconnect the other injectors I believe it is safe to assume that injector #2 is bad. my spark plugs have spark so I don't believe that is an issue.
I am picking up a set of 4 injectors tomorrow that are from a 1G (blue tops 450cc) from craigslist.
are these injectors a direct replacement? I can't find info on the compatibility between 1G and 2G turbo injectors. My plan is to simply swap out the "bad" injector with one of the blue tops and see if the clicking goes away.
does anyone have any input or advice? My car is generally stock in regards to my intake, injectors, ignition. I have installed 3rd gen lifters so I doubt that is the clicking. my oil pressure is also normal on the stock gauge.
Update: Just checked resistance on all four injectors. they all read 2.4 ohms. even injector #2.
