Is it possible to flood a fuel injected engine?
Yes, it’s possible to flood a fuel-injected engine — and here’s what to do when that happens
What causes a fuel injector to leak over the engine?
So, the most common cause of leaky injectors is; the failure of the O-ring, where the injector meets the fuel rail. The O-ring can become, hard and brittle, from the heat of the engine. If it breaks, then fuel can leak out, over the engine. The other way an injector will leak is if, the injector body or nozzle cracks.
Can a clogged fuel injector be repaired quickly?
Clogged injectors can usually be repaired, if you catch the problem quickly. Sometimes a fuel injector is completely clogged, because of years of neglect or a lack of regular engine servicing. If this is the case then a refurbished replacement, may be the only option.
Can a fuel injector be used as an ignition key?
Fast forward to today’s engines and injectors can power-spray fuel in to each cylinder individually, adding far more volume than a carburetor ever could. When you’re cranking over an engine that’s not firing up but that has a working fuel system, never stay on the ignition key for more than a few seconds.

What kind of fuel injector does the Spider use?
The CPI system was used only on the 4.3L V6 engines from 1992 to 1995 only. The ‘Spider’ assembly has only one fuel injector that feeds the 6 nylon fuel lines. The CPI fuel injection system does not use a MAF sensor. CSFI stands for: C entral S equential F uel I njection. This system used on all 4.3L, 5.0L, and 5.7L engines from 1996 to present.
