Injector Advice

cranelec · 10-02-2018, 04:20 PM

My 2011 335i xDrive (FBO, PS2, Wedge Tune, etc.) started running like sh#t after the last snow storm Northeast PA endured this past spring.
TLDR:
Replaced suspension, wheels, tires, windshield, valve cover, and repaired insulation on my ignition harness for cylinders #3 & #4.
Started Car and #3 & #4 spark plug wells filled with gasoline.
Sales Rep at Forum sponsor suggested that these two injectors are stuck open due to the degraded harness insulation.
Yes, I've read till my eyes bled. I can afford to replace all six injectors with Bosch Injectors from FCPEuro or the two failed injectors with BMW OEM.
I would appreciate thoughts, opinions, guidance, and advice.

Thanks,

Mike

Did you touch the fuel lines at all? I highly doubt you have two injectors that are stuck open and pushing fuel past your spark plugs. It's more likely you have a leak at the fuel rail to injector connections.
