[DMCForum] Re: Bosch CIS sucks!



Dang Walt,

Seems like you just have bad luck. I bought a rebuilt fuel dizzy from 
John and -reman- injectors and I have neither leaks, nor drips, nor 
incorrect opening times or spray patterns.

I agree that the drip indicates a stuck plunger in the dizzy. The 
late opening I thought would be a bad spring in the individual 
injector.

I would think that a drip every 5/10 seconds wouldn't be a big deal 
but I guess you don't drop down to rest pressure fast enough 
otherwise you'd get less fuel than 10mL.

As far as fuel in the oil pan goes, yeah I had -bad- problems with 
that. It washed out my engine so thoroughly that when I drained the 
pan to do the head gasket job, the oil pump totally drained out and 
caused my "no start" situation. The pump needed priming. I suspect I 
ran it that what before I did the gasket job and didn't know it. All 
I checked was that the fluid was correct level. My car didn't explode 
though. The upshot is, I'll bet the guts of my engine are squeaky 
clean because let me tell you, I've drained the newer oil I put in 
looking for coolant leaks, and it came out pure and golden.
