Great video...i came looking for how bad injectors can ruin fuel economy. I have an '06 Honda Element that gets absolutely terrible gas mileage. Gonna order a set of injectors now. Thanks!!
Thanks for that helpful video! Do you have a video where you make this setup, how to set all this to check my diesel injectors, because I think I have an issue
Apologies my friend for the late reply. I dont have the setup..but a 6mm rupper pipe cut to fit inside the leak off port and inserting the syringe body would do the job.
My swift diesel 2011 ddis clocked 106000 is producing black smoke while accelerating, turbo is ok and there is not any oil consumption. Egr and intercooler cleaned at 80k, catalytic converter cleaned at 90k. No problems with Cold starts and the acceleration is great.Mileage 17.6 in city and around 20 on highways.Can't diagnose the problem.
If the chain is too loose you get starting issues, chain sounds etc...It's should be the egr or sensors I guess....clean them properly..maf should be cleaned by removing the plastic guards and steel filter inside.
Might be worth having a compression test done. Also might be a good idea to have the operating pressure and spray pattern checked on the injectors. I worked in a factory designing and testing diesel injectors for 11 years.
Hi , i have an opel insignia , common rail , my car doesen't start when it's cold outside( below 15 Celsius ) , i need to start my car with starter spray into my admision , after that it starts all day long. But for example if i let the car sit a night , in the morning it doesen't want to start , i can crank all day and nothing happen . But if i let the car until it warms outside , it start . I have 0 fault codes with OBD . Can be a faulty injector or clogged? If i test the return flow of the injectors , i can see what's wrong with them? Thanks in advance!!
@@dailyhandsdiy i don't mention but i change more parts , new glow plug , new tank fuel pump , new fuel pressure sensor , high fuel pump changed(not new) , new MAF/MAP sensor , fuel filter changed twice , EGR cleaned , i go to the service and says "We don't know" . And i think the last part are injectors.
Other cold start issues lies on corroded ground, bad battery, starter motor weak crank. Another rare reason is minor leak in fuel lines causing fuel drain back to tank when sit for long.
Did you only replace the injector no. 4? Seen people claiming you should replace all 4 because if 1 or 2 are bad others are also worn. But it can clearly be seen that only no.4 is looking bad in this test.
That depends a lot on age of the car, and how long the car has been running with the bad injector (the others have to compensate). In the past i had a car with barely 30.000 miles that needed a new injector, i only replaced the one because at such low mileage it would be a waste to throw the others away. On a high mileage car, its usually a good idea to change them all since you're in there anyway. It would cost a bunch of labor hours to do it all again for another injector potentially only a few more miles down the line.
I am here late, I hope I'd get an answear. I have kinda the same problem but on a renault so I think the forth one is the one all the way to the left(next to the timing chain) That one is filling up but the other took some untill they started filling and after that they were also filling slower. The problem I have is really BAD black smoke when accelerating hard and I think the problem would be the other 3 because instead of leading back to the tank the fuel gets sent in the cylinder and is more diesel in the mix than needed. In that case the other 3 are faulty. I don't know in your case because they seem to fill in sync. What do you think? Did you solved the problem?
Here the problem was excessive cranking before start...it takes around 8 to 10 seconds to start and when hot, fails to start. the one with too much leak off was worn inside and leaks fuel back to return pipe causing delayed pressurising the rail. In your case, a black smoke can be seen if the turbo is malfunctioning, sensors malfunctioning, turbo boost leaks, egr sticking etc....
Hei. Can you give me right answer? I have one insignia 2.0diesel. No smoke, but shaking when i push gaspedal. New: diesel filter, air filter, oil, coolant water cleaned air flow sensors. New timing belt, water pump and something other things. No fault code. When i go up to 3000rpm shaking gone and looks like give enough diesel. Goes without any problem after. Stop the car and shaking again with accelerating. And then is gone around 3000rpm. And to the next start goes easy. Maybe one injector is bad? 261.000km in car.
Engine shake or wiggle is a result of misfire...mostly...in diesel..injector is the only one thing that cause misfire unless there's some serious decompression in any one cylinder.
@@dailyhandsdiy pressure sensor in common rail? Or pressure valve? Because if its go up to 3000rpm fail is gone and car goes like a rocket. Until i stop and start again.
@cheeba4069 rail pressure sensor shows intermittent stalling and check engine light in most cases, drv same, any leak or closed drv gives a rail pressure related code...Could check the rail characteristics using a scanner.
Hi. Just done the test on mercedes viano and unsure what the results mean. 2 filled level and 2 didnt fill at all after 30 seconds. The engine was lumpy as hell, and the engine shut off and was unable to restart the test. Was fine once i put return pioe back on.
Vehicles with precise fuel metering, shuts off if there's a leak in fuel return or delivery. Fuel leak off should be minimal. If there's excess or like too much, need an expert diagnose.
This doesn't mean any condition. Its excessive leak off from that injector. certain amount of fuel comes out injector from its working. It shoud be under certain limit...if its above the limit, you will get long cranking before start as hp pump has to work long to make fuel pressure.
To goes back to fuel tank but thats not the issue...here, when the engine gets hot, it takes too much crank time to start up...sometimes it wont start.
@TomSon-ej3pw Nop...rail pressure get released when the engine is turned off. And when you try to start the engine, rail takes time to get pressurised to optimum as a small amount of fuel leaks pass the injector leak off port and when the rail gets fuel pressure by excess cranking, injector starts to fire up. With a small leak from injector and excess leak off, fuel pressure in the rail goes down and the car wont fire up. This goes on. At certain point, rail gets stable pressure to fire up the engine.
@@dailyhandsdiy In other words leaking injector delays (or even prevents) time to build up the correct pressure to start? Does it matter if the leak is internal (e.g. stuck nozzle) or external (the overflow excess)?

Hi, normal leak off doesn't mean the injector nozzle is good....there might be an excess delivery from any one of the injector causing the knocking noise.
Hi you need a syringe and 6mm dia hose mainly used for wiper washer. cut them accordingly to fit inside leak off port. Remove the clip and connected pipe from leak off port and seal the end pipe so fuel won't leak. press in the cut out 6mm pipe and followed by the syringe. set up is completed.
If you mean oil consumption..then no injectors won't cause oil consumption. And the dpf can get clogged if the injector malfunctions. Also if the oil burning inside the cylinder is high, dpf clogs fast.
If diesel leaks to the cylinder too, it goes thru pistonrings to the oilpan.. When you check oil level, you can smell if there diesel too.. Diesel can leak from injector seals to oil reservoir too.
Yes exactly, when cold, the fuel will be denser and with bad injectors especially with bad or clogged nozzle, fuel get restricted to be sprayed at proper quantity. And when it becomes hot, fuel get thinner thus escapes the restriction and gets a better spray pattern. the engine smooths out. Same happens if the injector solenoid becomes weak. Cold and failing solenoid will be weak and when it becomes hot works better.
after change the injector you have to programming, on every injector there is number on every injector and after changing you have to put that number in side ECU, but if you are doing french car you have to be cearful, on french car they cound cylinder form clutch side, on normal car is 1-2-3-4-gearbox, on french is 4-3-2-1-gearbox
isnt 4th one stay closed? while the other 3 work properly? because if it was stuck on open, there would be less comong back overflow line, but now 4th one has most overflow in return line indicating its not using fuel like other 3 injectors, meaning stays closed
Thats easy, get 4, 60ml injection case, remove the leak off port, insert a bike fuel hose cut into case, insert it into the leak off, close the return line of fuel. start and see.

black smoke is mainly due to egr or dirty air intake sensors. Clean the air intake sensors and egr again and see if there's any change.
@@dailyhandsdiy cleaned maf and map sensors too , and changed to oem air filter,still no result 😕 can a loose timing chain be the problem?

Also might be a good idea to have the operating pressure and spray pattern checked on the injectors. I worked in a factory designing and testing diesel injectors for 11 years.
I did the same test today and 3 of my injectors are returning more diesel than normal, can that be a reason for black smoke?

So the one to the right is clogged?
It's not like clogged...internal parts wear out causing excess fuel leak between the parts...this cause that additional leak off from the port
Is tha a cause of low power sir? Having low power issue recently on my hyundai accent crdi.
are they bosch injectors? bike hose outer diameter 7.5mm?
Yes they are Bosch injectors...and I'm not sure if they are 7.5 mm in dia
Can this leaked one especially number 4 cause increased engine oil? And then dpf clogged?
If you mean oil consumption..then no injectors won't cause oil consumption. And the dpf can get clogged if the injector malfunctions. Also if the oil burning inside the cylinder is high, dpf clogs fast.

Diesel can leak from injector seals to oil reservoir too.
@@jeantodt666 I made this test last week. 4 of them were nearly equal. So injectors appear good, i consider

Which is the bad one here??
4th one, with too much leak off.
Will it idle rough with a faulty injector
Yes with bad injectors, engine jumps, misfires, shakes badly.
@@dailyhandsdiy Only does it from cold, once engine gets hot runs a bit better on idle but still not smooth

Yes the 4th one is bad. there should be equal leak off from each injectors.
@@dailyhandsdiy Thank you information 🙂
no problem bro....
Hi sir, I run a test with one hyundai iload, & found no 1 injector has bubble. What could possibly be the cause? Thanks
Yes can you send the set up instructions or video please dude?
If we replace faulty injector with another one(new/used) will it work or have to do any programming Or setting before installing???
after change the injector you have to programming, on every injector there is number on every injector and after changing you have to put that number in side ECU, but if you are doing french car you have to be cearful, on french car they cound cylinder form clutch side, on normal car is 1-2-3-4-gearbox, on french is 4-3-2-1-gearbox
If it’s old school injector with no electrics then no coding is required.. 👍
The 4th injector is stuck open yet not triggering a code but causes poor engine performance.
The actuator might be working normal not realising the nozzle is stuck open.
isnt 4th one stay closed? while the other 3 work properly?
because if it was stuck on open, there would be less comong back overflow line, but now 4th one has most overflow in return line indicating its not using fuel like other 3 injectors, meaning stays closed
@@hardikeywan9930 That's a good point, also curious what exactly the excessive leak tells.
@@TomSon-ej3pwnaff all, lead you down the wrong rabbit hole.
Does bad injectors cause black smoke?
Absolutely
Does faulty injectors lead to engine damage?
In short term no issues but for long....excessive knocking, preignition, lean or rich condition,etc...lastly piston crown damage.
It can melt the piston if the injector is leaking really badly
@@simontist4 melt pistons on my cdi due to bad injectors 😂
How test if the engine no start
You might need a continuous cranking. After 5 6 crnks the excess leak starts to show up.
