Anyone experience stuck open fuel injector?
Ever since I switched to using E85 at this one gas station (only one I have in 100 miles) I have had consistent issues with my car. I think the fuel is dirty. They constantly run out every few days so it's possible I am scraping the bottom of the tank. I have an aeromotive filter inline but in the past two weeks I have had one DI injector go out, then last Thursday at track days (at Daytona Speedway) I had either a port or DI injector get stuck open (#6 cylinder) causing unburned fuel to ignite out my exhaust. Wasn't a pretty sight seeing 6 foot flames out the back of my car!!!
I have a new port and DI injector coming in tomorrow will throw them in with a new aeromotive filter, as well as flush my fuel system out.
Does anyone have experience with stuck open injectors? Causes other than dirty fuel?
Thanks!
