I was
working on my son's 19TZi, which had been running badly. Matters
would improve somewhat if injector cleaner and an "Italian
Decoke" were used!
We
therefore pulled the injector nozzles out and what a shock we got!!!
The nozzles were buried in a pile of carbon. How it went was an
absolute mystery. Looking down the hole the nozzle fits into, which
is about 12mm diameter, there was only a hole of about 4mm wide
that was where the nozzle actually sat in there, buried in this
pile of carbon, and was obviously 'dribbling' rather than 'injecting'
the fuel into the cylinders.
Once we had pulled the injector nozzles out, I fitted a set of "O"
rings, washers, end caps and filters to each one. They come in a
set of two made by a company called "ACA engine management
solutions" part number IRK711, these came at a cost of $11.55
a set, so for around $23 and an hour of your time, you can totally
redo the injectors in your
BX. If however you have a 16V you'll need to invest an extra 55
cents for a 9th "O" ring for the fuel rail.
Waiting to now get it all back together to see how much difference
it makes to both performance and fuel consumption.
Anyone
with any sort of injected BX is advised to remove their injectors,
check for carbon build up, and fit new seals to the injectors!
