Deleted User Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 By dribble... how much do you mean?Is it just one injector, several or all of them?If anything more than a very minor weep I would be resealing the metering unit. Get a seal kit from someone and remove the MU. Remove the injector hoses one by one and replace the Dowty seal beneath the one way valve... if these are hardened or in any way defective you get 100 psi fuel heading straight to the injector... very easy to do but use vaseline or similar lube so as not to pinch or nick the rubber.

Jason Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Barry - check out http://www.lucasinjection.com/index.html a very useful resource and has many of the manual scanned in and available for free download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shenderson Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 The O-ring seals on the banjo unions for numbers 2 and 5 are prone to breaking up, with little fragments of rubber entering the fuel line and blocking the injector open. To renew these you need to remove the metering unit.It's also worth blowing compressed air (filtered, at no more than 80 psi) through each injector to clear any debris out. You will be amazed at how much smoother the engine runs after doing this.There is some useful info, on the PI system as well as the rest of the car, in the 2000 Register Service Notes.Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
