PLEASE HELP no fuel to inj 3 and 4
My escort turbo MFI is getting no fuel to 3 and 4.
At the moment nothing is happening on 3 and 4 is kinda working. When you take the plugs out they are covered in soot. pot 1 and 2 are spot on and running as they should. Feul pressure to the metering head is 6 bar.
I have done a compression test and all cylinders are at 150psi + so no issuse there.
I have tried 3 different metering units and no joy
All 4 plugs are sparking and i have no air leaks.
Car has 22 litres of fresh fuel in the tank.
Please can someone help as i have run out of ideas

Have you checked that fuel is getting to injectors 3 & 4 by undoing the pipe's and cranking? If it is then sounds like they are not opening, in which case you will probably need a new set of injectors... Which isnt a bad thing as most leak these days and fuel unevenly anyway.

It's all MFI so injectors work from pressure. Not sure it can be the injector, when you rev the car cylinder 3 kinda kicks in. Also I took the injector outta cylinder 1 and cranked the car and no fuel come outta the injector and I know that injector work.

Old injectors? Try new ones. Common problem with worn MFI injectors. When you start the car it runs on one cylinder, then on two and slowly 3 and 4 are firing too.
