Thats fine mate, to be honest it makes no difference in which order the injector pipes go on as they all get the exact same quantity of fuel, but to be honest you would have to be a sandwich short of a picnic and be very heavy handed to get them on in the wrong order anyway as they are all bent to shape.

The pipes were already connected to the metering unit I just connected up the injector ends......it was a simple question, no need for a smart answer

Sorry i think you took that the wrong way mate, all i was trying to say is they are hard to get on in the wrong order anyway (yours being spot on), but even if they were forced and put on the wrong way it still wouldn't affect anything.

Just trying to help you out.

The pipes inside the black sections are metal, and could well of been bent or twisted before you got it and therefore be blocked. Its very common for the injector clamps to snap and before youve realised youve ended up twisting the pipe thinking the nut is seized (not saying you have but i have done this)

Have u tried removing the pipes and blowing down them to check if they are blocked?

I'm gonna try taking them all off 2mora and make sure there all ok and not blocked, but I still think it may be the metering head at fault
Thanks for your ideas

Nice one, i agree with you it probably is the metering head because you are having problems on 2 cylinders, but let me know how you get on.

No problems at all mate i hope u get it sorted i know the feeling when things don't go to plan
