When Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection goes bad, almost the same failure mode as the L-Jetronic based system my years of Z could have happen

 

Don't make Tyler cry........ Or wait he can probably fix that in 50 years at his pace

 

I guess the flux capacitor stopped fluxing

 

Hopefully the warranty on his Mr. Fusion covers it

 

Sounds like something from fallout

 

Wtf? That's what happens when the FI system goes bad on those?

 

Hehe

 

Dig dug or gtfo

 

It sounds like one of the only games I'd prolly play if I played vid games

 

I want to go home and play my modded fo4 now.

 

Proof that I now own @Sperrunner husky yay. Now how do I get him to his new home lol

 

Bosch L and K Jetronic systems are pretty early systems. Instead of a typical modern fuel rail that the injectors seal into with an o-ring these injectors have a hose barb at the top and that puts a bit of pressure where the plastic electronic parts are pressed into the metal injector casing. That joint is sealed with an o-ring that is exposed to fuel constantly and because these systems are old they aren't ethanol compatible and the modern fuel wears that ring out while the hose joint at the top stresses that joint. They end up leaking fuel from the injector body and a hot engine bay makes short work of the car at that point. Fire starts... Poof! That's why even though my injectors were fine in my Z, I replaced them anyway. Also the same reason I'll be changing to aluminum fuel rails and mustang injectors that are modern very soon.

 

The proof you are a smart individual. Want a job?

 

Lol Everytime you talk about the stuff that goes on at your job it ends up sounding like a lawsuit waiting to happen. I guess that keeps it exciting right?

 

It's just stupidity really. Or the shitty floor managers. Don't worry you'll be on my team lol. Which means free food every Friday.

 

Are you 21?

 

Do you want me to insult you?
