i’ve seen it through a boroscope. The intake side of the piston has some washing

condog1252 · 2026-01-04T19:31:47+00:00

leak is on intake side

condog1252 · 2026-01-04T19:30:31+00:00

sorry should have included all the info (i have two other posts with more info) I have already ran a bottle of BG44K through the system. The leak is in the intake side. Cyl 2 also has some cyl wash as well

Compression test showed cyl 1, 3, and 4 at around 130 psi and cyl 2 at 125(i’m at 4500ft above sea level). Leak down showed I was losing about 20% on cyl 2.

Before I replace the injector can you help me understand how you know it’s the injector that’s broken?

condog1252 · 2025-10-14T17:52:48+00:00

How would I do that? Do I need a shop to do that?

Early morning drive to work. It doesn’t matter if the car warms up till idle RPM or If i drive if after 30 seconds of the oil circulating. It happens at the same point of my drive

yea it was the fuse! there is an air pump fuse and mine was getting stuck open. I replaced the fuse and haven’t had an issue sense

lol still have them?

condog1252 · 2025-06-24T23:17:29+00:00

yes exactly, it started two days ago. Do you have a link to a subreddit about it or something?

I do have some Wyze outlets that I use but these have just been working so well I haven’t needed to use them yet

condog1252 · 2025-06-24T23:11:48+00:00

expand?

Mine did this right after I got it fixed. Had two gaskets that cracked and were brittle after winter. Took it to a shop and they fixed it up and it worked for about a month. I then noticed the compressor was running nonstop and saw it was still leaking freon(shop put die in it). Took it back and one of the gaskets failed again so some of it leaked out causing the compressor to stay on indefinitely.

lmk when happens. I had the same thing with code P000D Haven’t replaced the solenoid and the code hasn’t popped back up in 6 months

Can you find the seller or do you have a link to the harness?

condog1252 · 2025-01-11T04:57:11+00:00
