i took the car for a small drive today and the car is runnign a bit better after doing so, it started to feel as if it was cutting in an running normaly over 4k and the idle is a bit better but after taking the bottom two plugs out and one is black as you would expect but the other is looking nearly new as if now fuel has been burned so im thinking i have a blocked injector so will take them out and have a look, anyone done this before and is it much of a job? i cant even find them so im going to have a look at the workshop manual, wish me luck...

i took all of the plemum off today and had a look at taking out the injectors but there is a mass of vacume pipes on top of them which should realy be left alone unless you have a photographic memory, is there any magic way of cleaning them on the car lol? how much do you think a mazda specialist would charge to diagnose the problem or clean the injectors?

I took the car to kerim and he done a compression test and that was spot on, then plugged in an apexi pfc and used the commander to limmit the injectors to show which side was running bad and found one of the primarys to be hardly working so its just going to need a new injector or have those ones out and ultrasonicly cleaned, so cant moan. Kerim had a lot of time for me and clearly had a realy good understaning of the engines so would happilt recomed him too...

Hi

I am glad you finally took the car to Kerim’s now you know where you are with the problem and you can sleep better LOL

I am also glad you had a good experience; he really knows the cars and as you said always has time for his clients
