What are the usual symptoms of a sticking injector ?

petrol or diesel?
direct or indirect?

On Alfa Romeo's, the injector runs lean, overheats the piston crown which melts, this now acts like a pump and sucks all the oil out through the exhaust ruining the cat, the mains and big ends run dry and then seize.All in 4 seconds!

As with a coil pack fault a misfire Pcode in the P03xx range pointing to a specific cylinder.

Poor idle quality.

Plug that reads different to the others.

I assume you don't mean sticking open. If so, a stink of fuel when the fuel pump is running even when the engine is turned off.

What symptoms have you got Clive?

usual symptom is either seriously lean or p!ssing fuel out the exhaust...

Dad had a short on his Rover 75 injector harness so it stuck open (bad maintenance by a non-dealer maintenance place led to chafing).

He basically could see his fuel needle dropping as he drove down the M40....
