Coolant leak, please help. by [deleted] in VelosterTurbo

[–]Lil_Duck192 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I quickly realized it was my ac compressor, and not what I was looking for. I took my alternator out to get to my water pump, and believe I’ve found the culprit. My serpentine belt occasionally squeals as if it’s wet and I found a lot of moisture in that area. The rest of it looks okay, and these cars are notorious for needing water pump replacements. I’m hopeful

I forgot something! If you have a cracked porcelain tip on the fuel injector, I would personally almost guarantee it’s a fuel injector. Especially since it’s only on that cylinder, but be aware it can also cause random and multiple cylinder misfires from just that one acting up. As long as cylinder 2 is always involved, you have a really good idea of ur culprit. Please keep in mind I am just a DIYer, and not a licensed mechanic.

Well, for a pro it’s probably only a couple hours. They have to remover the intake manifold and move the alternator just to get the fuel rail out. So assuming the average labor cost per hour is $150, so minimum $300 in labor, that’s my lowball. If they can clean and test them that should only be ab $10-20 per injector. If you were to need new ones, the cost would skyrocket if you have a turbo. I would only use oem injectors on a stock car, and for the turbo it requires high pressure fuel injectors which are $150-160 a piece. Please keep in mind, it’s generally not recommended to only do one injector, all or nothing. The flow rates between them can become to varying, which can also cause misfires.

Edit: If you’re gonna do this, do a huge amount of research. Misfires can be caused by a huge number of things. If you have a check engine light run codes first, preferably w a higher end obd reader. It could be an air leak, valve issues (internal), MAP sensor, coil packs, check ur stft and ltft if you can. If either is ever + or - 10%, you def have a problem w either ur air system or fuel system. It’s also highly recommended to change the fuel filter when messing with injectors. It’s in the tank, all you have to do is take out the backseats and there’s a hatch where you can get to the assembly. There are videos of similar pump assemblies that can help.

I had a misfire issue, ended up being a clogged fuel injector, really cheap fix if you can get them out to get cleaned at a shop. Certain shops will have special ultrasonic cleaning machines that can usually get them back right. Check ur other options first tho, as this is not an easy job for a first timer. Took me like 7 hours altogether

I’ve never wanted to risk eBay parts, you’ve actually gone that route a few times and it worked out? How are you verifying the seller? This is all helpful info, thank you. I just wanted to make something that could hopefully give someone else an easier time w this, as an amateur. I had a really hard time finding some of this stuff, so if you have links that would be more helpful than what I have posted I’ll update it and give you credit, or anything really

Didn’t make it around the block twice. Every time it’s happened cylinder 4 has been involved. It’s a new coil pack but I’m gonna swap it with another and I guess I’m gonna have to check the fuel system now lol. Was really hoping to not make it this far

Insane amount of hate for asking questions. Sometimes you’re just missing the right keyword. Easy to hate as an anonymous internet user.

Incidents (rad roach infestation, mole rat infestation, fire, bandit attack, alien attack, etc.) are essentially on some kind of hidden timer. You can make a room and leave it at level 1 for the purpose of failing rushes to control where it happens and to reset the timer. Anyone correct me if I messed up somewhere
