fuel injectors in honda CRV
I have a 99 crv with 170K miles, begining of the summer I had to
replace one fuel injector, now a second one is starting to go, is there a 'normal' life expectancy for the fuel injectors? if so, would it be wise to replace all three remaining injectors at the same time instead of chaning one a time? thanks manolo |

You know that your CR-V needs to have the valves adjusted every 30,000 miles, right? If you're getting a CODE P030x where x = cylinder #1-#4, you're more likely smoking a valve. First time it stalls at a stop sign during the warm-up cycle is the time to fix it, since the next symptom (CHECK ENGINE light) is usually after the head is wrecked. Here's one of dozens of similar posts about CR-V (and Integra) valves. http://www.hondasuv.com/stg/viewtopic.php?t=17794& 'Curly' |

Re: fuel injectors in honda CRV
it was runing rought and the engine light come on. I took it to the
mechanic (honda dealer) he said the code indicated a bad fuel injector. same thing happened at the begining of the summer with a different injector (which by the way they had to replace a couple months later because it was defective).

Re: fuel injectors in honda CRV
I'd start running a bottle if Chevron Fuel Injector cleaner through it every
10k or so. I've never had an injector go bad. But I do run the cleaner through.
