[QUOTE="maplemale, post: 1090877, member: 17366"] [b]injectors likely[/b] So... just called Swamps and started talking about getting a single tune to see if their's causes the same issue. Was told not to waste my time and here's why: I removed the hydra chip completely and it still smoked. According to Swamps, it should not smoke just because you have a stock PCM running the split shots. He said without a doubt / 99% certainty I have either: a. A bad injector b. Didn't seat some injectors correctly. When I seated my injectors I did hit them with a rubber mallet. But, I wasn't too rough. Was afraid I'd crack the porcelain tops. Was just corrected on that and told to hit them like I'm pounding in a 2x4. You should feel each one seat. Then, run a straight edge ac cross them. I've driven 10k miles since those injectors were installed. Maybe I didn't seat one correctly? But, it's probably got a cracked nozzle by now. :cursing: It's possible a nozzle was cracked when I bought them. :shrug: Guess I'll have to put a straight edge on them before taking them out and see if one isn't seated. I don't want to ask for a free injector if the nozzle is cracked just cause I didn't seat it right. I guess if they are all seated well, i'll take them out one by one and check for issues like a carbon build up. [/QUOTE]
