Dumb question

MnrlGry01gt · June 10th, 2007, 04:35 AM

OK... What lb does the stock fuel injectors flow at? And also does it matter what color they are, i mean are like all say 24lb injectors one color and all like 42lb another or does that not matter. I was wondering cause mine are green and it seems everyone elses are orangish yellow.

HMUSN · June 10th, 2007, 11:53 AM

the stock fuel injector in your car should be 19lbs per hour.

yes the fuel injectors are color coated

do you have a tune on your car.... green tops should be 42lbers

MnrlGry01gt · June 11th, 2007, 12:35 AM

I have a tune, i guess, but it was done before I bought the car. I am guessing it was tuned because there are no cats on it and no mil eliminators and there is not a check engine light on. So i am assuming there is a tune.

MustangMatt96GT · June 11th, 2007, 12:36 AM

Why would somebody put 42s in a relativly stock car? Big waste of money!!

MnrlGry01gt · June 11th, 2007, 12:38 AM

Yeah I know thats why I am trying to figure this out. Also, I have blown two engines by just doing a burnout could this be the result of to much fuel?

MustangMatt96GT · June 11th, 2007, 12:40 AM

I dont think that it is a result in to much fuel, but if it wasnt getting any fuel then yes a possiblity! Lets see some pictures of your engine and lets see if we can spot anything else different!

I actually did a double check and the injectors are the yellow orange. My bad. Maybe I was looking at a picture and got them messed up!

Drgnracin72 · June 11th, 2007, 04:24 AM

ok heres my thinking, youve blown 2 motor while burning out. obviously something is wrong and its time to get that car into a competent tuner and have them take a look at the pcm and see if thats your problem. to much fuel isnt gonna blow a motor but its still not good for it

HMUSN · June 11th, 2007, 04:26 AM

besides... if you had 42's and no tune your car would run like complete shit.

MnrlGry01gt · June 11th, 2007, 01:49 PM

Yeah I need to put it on a dyno or something so they can see what the hell is going on with it

ChrisJ · June 11th, 2007, 01:55 PM

Get a dyno tune bro...

You might have a tune on the car and the person never took it off the car before he traded it in or something...I have seen it happen...A car will have a ton of mdos done to it...The person gets tired of it...They strip it back to stock...But never pull the tune...Makes it a nightmare for the next owner...

Ditto that, bro. These cars respond well to upgrades as long as they are dyno-tuned for them... They just really can't be F'd with without a proper tune. Get that done and they shine...

Personally I would contact the previous owner and see if they have the tuner used on the car or if there is a chip installed. I don't think it would be easy to sell a tuner that is vin locked to your car. How long have you had your car?

ChrisJ · June 12th, 2007, 09:23 AM

Its not easy to get rid of a locked tuner but it happens...Its like $150 for the unlock (I think)...

MnrlGry01gt · June 12th, 2007, 09:41 PM

Ive had it a little over a year. I think I am just going to buy a tuner
