So it's all done but having an issue. Seems my #1 fuel injector is stuck open.

Before the test drive I let it idle for about 20-30 minutes and it did great. Drove about a mile and a half doing great then after getting into some boost it started running bad and flashing the check engine light. Pulled over and everything looked ok, barely started back up and limped back to the shop. Only code is a P0300 random misfire. I pulled the plugs and all were dry except #1 it was dripping fuel. So I look with a digital boroscope and there's a pool of gas in there. Any time the key is turned on and rail is pressurized its leaking fuel into the cylinder.

I've been working with Brian(Fabberge) over the phone and he's been great. Put the factory tune back in it and it didn't have any effect. Going to clean it up and start it while datalogging and see if they can see anything before I start tearing into it. I guess step one would be pulling the intake and unplugging the injector and see if it still leaks with the key on.. I'm almost positive it will. The fuel injector calls for 2.8 hours and requires a special tool to pull it and a special tool for putting the Teflon seal on the end.. not sure if there is a way around either of these or not. I haven't had to pull an injector on an a 3.6 yet. But I've seen where the Teflon seal is very delicate and easy to ruin on DI injectors.

It's crazy, I can't understand what could have happened to it. I don't really see how it could have anything to do with the turbo kit.. maybe just a crazy coincidence or an injector that was flawed from the factory and just gave out when it had to spray more fuel?? Who knows but it is what it is. They say you got to pay to play and I'm playing!
