fi-tech fuel injector

[Kain]

had a fuel injector stop working, was trying to figure out why you jump on it or give a small amount of gas why it stumbled and passenger rear injector doesn't work like the rest. have video but have to plug my phone to computer to load it.

I have fitech go street 400 system, it has been since last year august and this is the first problem with the unit. The rest of the time it has been other things failing like header gaskets or fuel pump.

warranty?

not working at all or partially? Pull the side panel off that holds the injectors and check to make sure the injectors are plugged in correctly. You can also swap injectors around to see if it's the injector or not....

that's probably a good thing because it's likely the injector just failed since it has power.

i tried reloading calibration and rewriting it and no go so ill call em in the morning

found fuel filter failed allowing trash to get to injector but screen saved it

Did it look like this???


Not to be “that guy” that blames all the problems of the world on ethenol, but this is the kind of stuff we find all the time in the boats that don’t run non ethanol fuel or an ethanol treatment. The guys that run fuel with ethenol but don’t let their stuff sit very long don’t have these issues. This crap comes in many different colors and looks and feels like fine sand when it dries. My be a coincidence but everything we have seen points the finger at corn squeezins...

 

[Kain]

it was sand like stuff ,really fine sand and the parts came in today and i put filter on and started it up and went for a drive with no leaks!! yay it didnt burn to the ground!!lol
I always hated fuel leaks almost burnt a camaro to the ground. double and triple check it go for a ride lat cool and check again

You can rub it between your fingers and it’ll get sandy pretty much right away.

The owner tried some fuel treatment with this one. I think that’s why it’s green.
