Title: GTV6 Fuel Injector Seals
Post by: shane wescott on February 11, 2012, 02:34:26 PM
Hi Guys

Been away for a few weeks on and off travelling, came back form the Register Captains meet and thought I would turn over the GTV6.

Then i remembered that I had seens a small leak from 2 injectors. This now appears to be a bigger leak.

So hence my question. I believe there is a small seal which seals against the manifold.

Is it as simple as unbolt them and replace all the seals ?

Sounds too easy :-)

Catch ya

As Always thanks very much Mate.

Sourcing some new seals now so hopefully the GTV6 will be back on the road soon.

Update on this.

Turns out that the seals don't cause fuel leaks (certainly not the seals with the manifold), and it was either a loose pipe to the injector, or a cracked/leaky injector.

Back home so turned on ignition, bonnet up, removed the cover over the Air Flow Meter, push the arm to make the fuel pump come on and listened - didn't take much to hear/see fuel hissing out of cracks/leaks.

looks like two new injectors are required.

On the hunt for them now.

I've got a couple of spare GTV6 injectors if you need some.

Sent a PM Festy.

Asked a local supplier about injectors and got a short "can't help you".

Not sure if it's because I've never bought any thing from them before or not, but taking that response on board I managed to source some overseas.

Works for me.

Ordered my new injectors form the US today.

As well as a new induction kit.
