    Fuel Issue

    Figured I'd close this thread out and give an update. 5 of the 6 injectors ended up having destroyed internals, changed them out and its back to running smooth. The white smoke went away and the car revs up great

    Thankfully I have a shop close by that you can send injectors too for this exact reason so I'm gonna try that first to see how they do when fully tested.

    That Ideally yeah, I suppose if you're lucky to have one injector go then you can get away with one but I always thought that if you're gonna replace one you might aswell replace them all while you're in there.

    Fuel Issue

    What're the chances of more then one going bad and can they fail in other ways? When I replaced the one injector I put them in the rails before reinstalling and they didn't leak and seemed to hold low pressure.

    I don't remember if I mentioned this in the inital post but the car also hard starts.

    Fuel Issue

    I'll try to take a video later today of it, #4 didn't exactly smell like fuel but when I pulled it out the plug itself was smoking lol. When I originally pulled the injectors and tested them only one was visibily leaking with the fuel pump on so I replaced it but that didn't seem to fix it. I'm...

    Fuel Issue

    Also the white smoke is very heavy, like a steam engine and it smells heavily like fuel. Figured I'd clairfy

    Fuel Issue

    Will do, thank you guys for the replies. This is my first time toying with these engines, it had a misfire code specifically for 4,5, a random, and I believe 6 but I'll have to double check. There didn't seem to be any oil residue on the plugs and #4 was very clean. Even after changing out the...

    Fuel Issue

    The smoke does not smell sweet like coolant though,I've seen it in cars with blown head gaskets but it smells like straight fuel. The car does start and runs, its just like crap, I'll update this post after I run the PID's and see what comes of it. I still will probably replace the injectors...

    Fuel Issue

    Okay, I'll try that out. I'm just curious though, would a weak fuel pump in these engines cause symptoms like fuel in the oil, white smoke from exhaust, heavy fuel smell, etc? Also, could the high-pressure pump be the culprit, the one that sits on the valve cover? I've heard that these cars have...

    Fuel Issue

    So I guess the plan of action is to find out what the fuel pressure desired vs actual is. If I see the pressure way off of what is desired then ideally what would that rule out or what would it lead me to suspect?

    Fuel Issue

    Yes all of those were addressed early on when he owned the car. From my knowledge just preventative maintenance like brakes, oil, transmission filter/fluid, tires etc was done aside from the recalled parts. Unfortunately my scan tool can't read specifics like fuel pressure desired/actual. I've...

    Fuel Issue

    Just over 202k on the odometer, the family member who sold me the car said he was driving it when the CEL light flashed and then stayed on while he was driving it. It definitely seemed like fuel from the exhaust when I smelled it but I could be wrong. I don't want to run the engine for too long...

    Fuel Issue

    Good morning, New SHO owner and new to the forums, so here's what's going on. I just picked up this 2010 SHO from a family friend and it's been having issues. The car puffs white smoke out of the exhaust and even drips fuel from the tailpipe, so I thought it would be an injector issue. Three...
