Another dead fuel injector today. Originally had the OE #6 die inside electronically, made the mistake of replacing with some Chinese Amazon knockoff. Looked legit when I got it but always had hot start issues after replacing.
Anyway, ¼ on the way to work yesterday had what felt like the first time when I had an injector die, a full misfire on a cylinder. Decided to turn around and take a different car which was probably a good idea in hindsight now. After I got home from work and took it all apart to check it out, I had an assistant from the fuel pump to take a look at that cylinder in the injector was just shooting out a garden hose spray a fuel and flooded the cylinder. Makes sense because when I got home I smelled fuel pretty bad, and when I moved it from one parking spot to up by the garage I smelled it even worse. Guess I'm lucky I didn't hydro-lock anything.
Got the Bosch OE ones coming now. Not making the same mistake again, just hope I didn't damage anything else on the drive back like a cat.
