Can a car run on 2 injectors?
The Sauber-Mercedes C9 Group C race car of the Eighties, for example, used two equally-sized injectors because engineers found they could better manipulate the spray pattern and timing versus using just one big injector.
Can petrol injectors be repaired?
Dead fuel injectors cannot be repaired and should be replaced with the exact same unit.
Do petrol fuel injectors need coding?
Direct fuel injectors need to be coded, the injector has a code written on it that corresponds with that exact injector’s spray pattern & flow rate when it was bench tested at the factory.
What causes white smoke from a diesel engine?
If your exhaust smoke is white, this is a reason for concern in a diesel engine vehicle. White exhaust smoke means fuel is not burning properly. This could mean: The engine is too cold.
Can I clean fuel injectors?

What happens when injectors not coded?
Non start – In newer systems if you do not code in the injectors the vehicle will not start. Poor / lumpy running – as the injectors are not coded, the ECU will carry on fuelling as if the previous injector was still present, which can cause poor performance.
How do I stop my diesel from smoking white?
If white smoke occurs during a startup in freezing temperatures, then goes away, it usually indicates frozen deposits of soot which expanded around the rings then burned away once the engine warmed up. The use of glow plugs during cold startsand/or the use of a flushing solvent to remove engine sludge is recommended.
Do injectors need to be programmed?
Failure to encode the injectors can result in several problems: Performance – In some systems, it may be possible to drive without noticing any difference. In fact, if the injectors have not been coded, it is unlikely that the customer will achieve optimal vehicle performance.
