3 quick stupid question !

1- Is it possible for an injector to be stuck open ?
2- If stuck open, what are the consequences on the idle or during the run ?
3- If stuck close, what are the consequences if Primary, if secondary ?

Just wandering... got mine cleaned and one was stuck. (don't know open or close, and don't know primary or secondary...)

Thanks

1 - Yes, it's possible.
2 - You will experience hard starts, or no starts due to flooding.
3 - You will run lean, this applies to both primaries and secondaries.

1 yes they can be stuck open or at least enough to leak.
2 not sure but it could cause flooding
3 if closed i would think the primaries would be very obvious and casue very poor idle and power. closed secondary would probably be noticed as a loss of power when the scondaries kick in
Just guesses but sounds good to me lol

One last question : could it be possible that injectors stuck open/close have an influence on the idle ?

Yes.

The engine will not run in my experience. A stuck injector will quickly fill the intake manifold with raw fuel.

3- If stuck close, what are the consequences if Primary, if secondary ?
The rotor with the stuck injector (if primary) won't run. If secondary, it will run lean above 3800 RPM under load.
