Your honesty is appreciated. Not everyone would admit to f#cking up. Most RUclipsrs would cut to the end and say they are the best at what they do. You're showing everyone that you're human and will make mistakes.
I'm not mechanic too,but RUclips, repair book give to me some nolige. You are done good job,but if clips on back of rail is not properly lock you have vacuum in this spot and your ECU will have problem with mixture air and fuel and he will be confused. Stereoscop is good for checking injectors clicking. I don't trying to criticised you only I'm trying to solved problem with injectors from ebay maybe they are good but isue clips don't hold injectors proper in rail.
New subscriber here. I just bought an AU1. And I'd just like to say I will be using your vids to help out. I'd like to applaud your honesty where you go wrong too. And if my car has Bosch injectors I may just refurb them. Thanks again, keep up the good work. A fellow DIYr..
Another good video Sean. It gives those who have no idea what to do a good idea on how to change the injectors. With mine, I went Bosch but I exchanged my old ones at Repco. I also cleaned out the fuel rail due to the fact that living on the Mid North Coast of NSW, we do get crappy fuel from time to time. I filled up one day into flooding at a petrol station that wasn't affected & they had bad fuel so I'm waiting to get through the tank. At the time replacing the injectors, I replaced the fuel filter, spark plugs & leads. I found I was still having the same problem & found it was my new Bosch leads so I ended up replacing them with a better brand & it worked perfectly after that. If you got a mechanic to do it, they would charge like a wounded bull. I still recommend that if you can do it yourself (with a mate if possible), it'll be easier. Had to laugh at the vaseline innuendos.
Don't ever worry about keyboard warriors criticising you. Chances are, they probably haven't touched a ratchet in their life. Keep it up mate!!!! PS: that is one clean engine bay.
Interesting, My profession is toolmaker from oversees ,Australian recognise traidsmam first class milling machinist. I hope so you haven't touched vernia or micrometer in your life.Ratchet I have all sizes and tools which you never seen in your life .If I made any mistake I would appreciated somebody to correct me with more nolige, because we all learning every day more.
Thanks for your honesty. We all learn from eachothers mistakes. This adds credibility to your channel and the viewers appreciate it. Glad the issue is fixed.
Glad you got the problem sorted out in the end with your customary honesty. I find that when a shaft is inserted into a hole, it is best to use a special rubber grease. It prevents any rubber parts from deteriorating and, let's face it, nobody wants that - blink, blink.... 😄
Great job! Your injector story reminds me of when I replaced the injectors on my wife's corolla to solve an intermittent starting issue (occasionally misfired for a few seconds on startup). I bought a set of 4 "remanufactured" injectors from a guy on trade me. Car started great with the new injectors on cold start, misfire gone, however now it struggled to start when hot. Looking closely at the injectors, I realised 2 of them had different part numbers. I sent them back to the seller and he sent me a new set of injectors with matching part numbers. Went to start the car after installing them and the engine immediately hydro locked. Much swearing later I disvovered two of the injectors were stuck open. After hand cranking the engine to expelling all the fuel, I put the original ones back in temporarily and had ended up paying $1000 nz for Bosch ones. Super easy mistake to make as injectors are expensive and it's really tempting to try to save some money. Good on you for getting the car running great in the end.
Good job is done.I have replace injectors on Ford Falcon Ba and first I have connect injectors on side of rail and I have instaled clips for injectors which is not easy they should click on bottom and they should not move left or right which mean clips is instaled properly.After that I push all 6 injectors in manifold and after rail bolts were installed.On Ford Falcon idle adjusment should not be touch ,because bolts can crack ,because they made them from plastic.If adjustment bolts can be moved paper clip should be connect on TPS conector earth wire silver -red and another clip to signal wire yellow and conect voltmetar and in idle if is proper adjustmet reading should be 0.6 to 0.9 V. If is idle low screw shoud be adjust in plus.Wide open trotle engine off when you press pedal down should be reading 3.5-4.7 V. It is proper way of adjusment of TPS and idle screw. WIRE BROWN -YELLOW is 5 V power for TPS and never put paper clip on that wire should be market adevice Voltmetar or ECU can be damaged.
Most manufacturers of Injector Cleaner will stipulate, when asked, that their product is more for maintenance than for fixing gacked up injectors. There is merit in running some injector cleaner through every couple of months (dependant on driving frequency) to keep the new ones working as good as new for longer. Thanks for the video, Sean. The POV works well, I’ve put injectors on my AU to-do list now.
Well done mate! We're pretty much on the same page. I've got a Ford Fairlane AU II, and I've just discovered the fuel injectors on mine are absolutely rooted (I had to get another guy to hammer the injector off the rail!). Now she's running smoother than any other cars I've ever driven!
Thanks Sean, ended up here trying to sort my dad's old AU Fairlane with same engine. Great car but become a hairy goat in recent years through lack of use, and the rougher it runs, the less it gets used. This is it for sure.
Hi Sean, just thought I'd update. Was getting all keen to change injectors when I discovered the noise I thought was the Power Steer pump was actually a failed intake gasket on 1. Totally gone. Apparently common on AUs. Replaced it with the help of your other video (watched it about 6 times first) and my 16yo son (small hands) Cheap fix and it runs like new now. Thank you very much.
Great content as always and yes I have to agree your honesty is appreciated. Very informative and also agree, I Iove your new intro. Keep up the outstanding work mate! :-)
I've learned the same lesson when I bought an el-cheapo coil for my old Bluebird years ago (despite the shop owner highly recommending the Bosch unit) as it was under half the price... of course I had to go back and buy the Bosch unit in the end - therefore I ended up buying twice. Lesson learned!
Good job mate . When you buy quality parts for engine your save yourself money in the long run , not only that but you are less likely to do your engine damage . One thing is for sure and certain, that is you have saved a ton of 💵 by working on your cars rather than paying a mechanic. Knowledge is power and helps the hip pocket as well when it come to cars .
Another awesome video man. I am no mechanic (a Mechanical Fitter by trade), but I love having a go at things myself. Not only does it save you money, but it teaches you so much new stuff about the vehicle you are working on. On top of that, you don't have to be worried about paying mechanics to NOT do what you've asked them to do... And to be honest, you can do the work better yourself if you take your time and use basic common sense. My comment is not a mechanic bashing session by any means as I know there are good ones amongst them, it's just the shit ones make it bad for the good ones. And basically people tend to want to learn and do stuff themselves properly. I love the fact that you are giving it a go and I totally admire that. Stuff the keyboard warriors man, I learn something new in every video you publish. Keep up the great content. 👌
Thanks for that Seanjust replaced fuel injectors on my Ba 02 XR6 + Throttle Body + Sensor clean, the process was a lot easier particular the Clips your advice was good(leaving elec on). Resultant performance great improvement particularly with the rise in fuel prices.
Mine cranks a bit rough during starting every now and then too. Might get that looked into as well. Wouldnt mind getting a set of plugs rated to 200,000km as well for the old girl. Found out Aurions use the real expensive ones 80 bucks each. My next car I plan to get is an Aurion.
@@silvernoob1603 I don't see why I couldn't its pretty similar in power just front wheel drive. I Don't buy them for track burnouts or all that just distance driving.

How you done the job is the mechanics way, however petroleum based vasaline dries out the " O " rings so next time just some ATF is safer and will prolong their life. In america however where it's cold the petroleum will behave a tad less aggressive. Good job and honest filming.
@@MotoringBoxTV yes the difference is a matter of years, the rings could die in 6 - 7 years minimum from experience and mimic vaccuum leak. You probably know that but for everyone else reading. Love the professional quality.👍👍

My old girl 1997 el ford falcon shes just had some new spark plugs put in her dont know if they have ever been changed but shes been running rough at idle alot of the time, cold starts it idles fine but once it warms up it develops a bad misfire so next thing ill put some new injectors on her she has done 210k kilometers the pain isnt in the best condition but shes always reliable i think i have an automatic transmission leak very slow one but im hoping it has a fill plug on the side of the transmission so i can top it up there is no dipstick so cant tell how low it is for sure but it does slip early in the morning going around the corner at the end of the street so id say she's just low enough for it to start becoming a problem, cheers for the video its extremely helpful also if you had a video on replacing the cab air-conditioning fan id love to see that mines gone but it seems like a full dash removal to replace bit of a big job the ac works fine tho
Hmm that's a strange one. I'm no expert but I'd say something is being affected by heat so I'd be checking the ignition coil or the distributor. Engines typically inject more fuel when cold so I would be surprised if the injectors are causing any issues when hot. I think EL's didn't have a dipstick on the gearbox so you may be up for the same job that I had to do. If it has one you'll see the dipstick on the driver's side of the engine right up against the firewall.
@@MotoringBoxTV yea no dipstick for gear box. anyway ill update you on what's happend so far. topped up the gear box was about 1L low was slipping before now its brand new ill call it rebuilt haha new injectors proper ones flow matched copied your video for the install went in without much issues did have one leak on first inspection but the metal clip was not put on correct just fixed it and sealed up perfectly New fuel filter dont know who put the old filter on but it wasn't the right one lol luckily they didnt chop the flared ends off and the nuts were still there just freely moving about, the fuel coming out of the old filter was black so can say it was about due the new one bolted on perfectly didnt leak at all after all of that the car drives great but the miss is still there only at idle and only once its warmed up im thinking fuel pressure regulator or the sending unit in the tank might be bad and its not holding pressure i noticed when taking the injectors off and the fuel filter there seemed to be no pressure behind it just leaked out slowly once it was lose so i dont know could be many things its not that big of an issue in my eyes under throttle its smooth and reliable and plenty of power. BTW when i say bad misfire i really mean its mild and not all the time just makes the rpm drop then it revs up and does it some more then it will settle its a bit random might be a drop of fuel pressure for a moment then returns could be a vacuum leak i really dont know the timing chain could be warn out and its out of time or the distributer needs replacing or even the coil id have to set some time aside to diagnose it my main issue is the cab ac fan is dead but its a full dash removal to replace it the ac itself works just fine i can hear the gas moving through the system when you activate the ac just no fan to blow it around so one day ill fix it but its one big job
Thanks, I have thought about getting a batch made but I didn't think the demand would be very high. I do sell them on teespring but their pricing + postage is quite high - teespring.com/en/new-motoringbox-logo?pid=2&cid=2122 I ordered mine from there, I went for the 'Premium Tee' in black and at least the quality is pretty good 👍
I like the intro Also you’re au videos will help out my brother with this au Also did you know peanut butter is really good for restorating black plastic
I bought a set of elcheapos for xr8 au as the originals seem impossible to find but connectors on new injector is square and au has roundish plugs, near identical specs and only difference (beside connector) appears to be ohm value. Was going to either get adaptors or change connector ends. Also plan on putting sequential lpg injection into the au xr8 😏 which has piggy back loom using the square plugs. I'm not a RUclipsr but really should make videos as I learn (mostly from my mistakes) to help others.
I know its late but when I put bigger fuel injectors in my EL it was running rich misfiring all it is because it’s running rich give her some more air had a look over with the timing too and it was good so play around with the throttle since in the owners manual so you didn’t really f up
Thanks brother enjoyed! Working on 1998 stock old daily driver that has many 'pick a part' parts. Now a driveway dinosaur, I'm being reluctant to part with, yes there are problems but give me old school fossil fuel burners to work on any day! They are a bit special so please don't drift them into walls. Peace.
Not much point in cleaning 20 year old injector, they are mechanical things and the do wear... I went through the same saga with my 300 zx tt, starting problems on and off...I bit the bullet and bought genuine Nissan ones...problem solved. Now I got an AU2 XR6 VCT...thanks for the video...well done and informative
I am not sure if it needs it - I'll have to try check it in a few thousand kms and see how it looks. I have a feeling my non existent PCV valve may have caused the crazy oil build up!
Great video. I know it's tempting to buy the cheapest parts on ebay but it only takes a no name part fucking up a couple of times before you realise it's not worth the hassle just to save a few bucks. I bought a set of no name idler pulleys for my BA and they only lasted a few months before needing to be replaced. One was literally falling apart. Same thing with bonnet struts. Bonnet struts aren't a big deal but if it's an important part, get OEM or an otherwise trusted brand. They just work and unless it's a consumable part, you won't have to replace it again.
Man I really do love the new intro definitely keep it up. By the way have you got the turbo kit for the AU Fairmont Ghia yet? Or are you still collecting parts for it?
The spray pattern will tell u what injectors are like. Attach current to - and + the + should be marked on side then fit a rubber tube over in end. The big rubber seal comes off. Don't try and take the small one off. Seal a tube spray in rubber tube. Connect + and squirt it fru. Injectors will make a small click noise when opening.
hi mate, just checked out the video, I`m not an expert by any means, but the the ford service manual says to lube the injector O rings with a light coating of engine oil, and not to use petroleum jelly,not sure why, but maybe something to dowith addatives not being good for the rubber. good video though mate
It's an intake air leak OR MAP Sensor issue OR low fuel pressure ( check delivery rate & regulator on the rail ). Other than that its the ECU/PCM. ( poor hot water over it when cold test! ) Leads on an AU MUST be covered in plastic conduit anywhere they can touch metal. Eagle brand box sets of 8mm leads are best. Thermostat should have 2 holes opposed on outer rim to allow water flow before opening too( HOT TIP ). You should also reset KAM Values after making base idle changes. ( KEEP ALIVE MEMORY ) Is the start issue solved or did it just seem to be but came back?
Depends, I'm used to it but some people will consider them thirsty. Depending what sort of driving you do you might expect 12L/100km for a mix of town and highway for an AU 6.
It also can idle rough. Though it is intermittent some days it starts and runs completely fine other days it cranky to start and idles rough but seems to be running fine otherwise
Nice video just wondering when you said to set the idle at 700 is that in Park neutral or drive because the car idles higher in park then in neutral thank you
Should be at idle in park. Going by the analog gauge on the dash is pretty hard though, in the end I adjusted it a few times until it just sounded right. Make sure this is when the engine is at proper running temperature too.
@@MotoringBoxTV cheers thanks for your reply , mine's a ED Falcon 94 . was thinking about putting AU injectors in there a 4 Squirtt system wear mine single , my idle is around 900 in park 400 in neutral but that 900 in park I think come down a little when I put new O2 sensor in I think really made a difference as well cheers I'll aim for 700 in park thank you .... splendid ..work ...!
I call them clips jesus clips if your not careful getting them out and they flick into the most random annoying places its like "jesus where did it go" love the vids tho mate keep up the good work.
@@MotoringBoxTV First time I did injectors I removed the clips like you did (and lost one), second time I just moved them up a bit and left them on the plug. Third time I learnt a bit about the bosch EV1 connectors and realised it's a spring clip, all you have to do is press on the flat wire and the sides spring out - leave the clip where it is - and you can easily just pull off the plug :D
maaate, i need to get to the leaky welch plug under my AU intec inlet manifold :( any tips? do i need to remove the injectors? I have the top half off the fuel injection
I've not done that job before, so I'm not sure if going from the top or underneath would be better. I imagine from the top the entire intake manifold would need to come off. Not fun.
Sure that'd help, I found the BA had plenty of space even with a thicker radiator. Putting a piece of ply or thick cardboard to protect it is a great idea though.

Engines typically inject more fuel when cold so I would be surprised if the injectors are causing any issues when hot. I think EL's didn't have a dipstick on the gearbox so you may be up for the same job that I had to do. If it has one you'll see the dipstick on the driver's side of the engine right up against the firewall.
@@MotoringBoxTV yea no dipstick for gear box. anyway ill update you on what's happend so far.
topped up the gear box was about 1L low was slipping before now its brand new ill call it rebuilt haha
new injectors proper ones flow matched copied your video for the install went in without much issues did have one leak on first inspection but the metal clip was not put on correct just fixed it and sealed up perfectly
New fuel filter dont know who put the old filter on but it wasn't the right one lol luckily they didnt chop the flared ends off and the nuts were still there just freely moving about, the fuel coming out of the old filter was black so can say it was about due the new one bolted on perfectly didnt leak at all
after all of that the car drives great but the miss is still there only at idle and only once its warmed up im thinking fuel pressure regulator or the sending unit in the tank might be bad and its not holding pressure i noticed when taking the injectors off and the fuel filter there seemed to be no pressure behind it just leaked out slowly once it was lose so i dont know could be many things its not that big of an issue in my eyes under throttle its smooth and reliable and plenty of power.
BTW when i say bad misfire i really mean its mild and not all the time just makes the rpm drop then it revs up and does it some more then it will settle its a bit random might be a drop of fuel pressure for a moment then returns could be a vacuum leak i really dont know the timing chain could be warn out and its out of time or the distributer needs replacing or even the coil id have to set some time aside to diagnose it
my main issue is the cab ac fan is dead but its a full dash removal to replace it the ac itself works just fine i can hear the gas moving through the system when you activate the ac just no fan to blow it around so one day ill fix it but its one big job
Oooo the intros got a bitta spice about it ✓ Love it
Love it your down to earth honest great advice

Where can I get one of those T shirts?
A mate of mine is a huge fan.
Thanks, I have thought about getting a batch made but I didn't think the demand would be very high. I do sell them on teespring but their pricing + postage is quite high - teespring.com/en/new-motoringbox-logo?pid=2&cid=2122
I ordered mine from there, I went for the 'Premium Tee' in black and at least the quality is pretty good 👍
@@MotoringBoxTV I bet it is a nice Tee but KFC doesn’t pay me enough 😭
I like the intro
Also you’re au videos will help out my brother with this au
Also did you know peanut butter is really good for restorating black plastic
Excellent thank you. Rob
I bought a set of elcheapos for xr8 au as the originals seem impossible to find but connectors on new injector is square and au has roundish plugs, near identical specs and only difference (beside connector) appears to be ohm value. Was going to either get adaptors or change connector ends. Also plan on putting sequential lpg injection into the au xr8 😏 which has piggy back loom using the square plugs. I'm not a RUclipsr but really should make videos as I learn (mostly from my mistakes) to help others.
Yep, great new intro. 👍
I know its late but when I put bigger fuel injectors in my EL it was running rich misfiring all it is because it’s running rich give her some more air had a look over with the timing too and it was good so play around with the throttle since in the owners manual so you didn’t really f up
Intro is bloody mint!!!
Thanks brother enjoyed! Working on 1998 stock old daily driver that has many 'pick a part' parts. Now a driveway dinosaur, I'm being reluctant to part with, yes there are problems but give me old school fossil fuel burners to work on any day! They are a bit special so please don't drift them into walls. Peace.
Not much point in cleaning 20 year old injector, they are mechanical things and the do wear...
I went through the same saga with my 300 zx tt, starting problems on and off...I bit the bullet and bought genuine Nissan ones...problem solved.
Now I got an AU2 XR6 VCT...thanks for the video...well done and informative
True, the new set are performing beautifully. They weren't cheap, but worth it.
That intro is siiick!
Thanks mate!
@@MotoringBoxTV Not a problem!
love the new intro
Great vids mate! At what stage are we gonna see a catch can happening on this thing?
I am not sure if it needs it - I'll have to try check it in a few thousand kms and see how it looks. I have a feeling my non existent PCV valve may have caused the crazy oil build up!
Next time insread of using screwdriver to remove the clip on the wire connectors just push the clip in this will make the connector able to be removed
Great video. I know it's tempting to buy the cheapest parts on ebay but it only takes a no name part fucking up a couple of times before you realise it's not worth the hassle just to save a few bucks. I bought a set of no name idler pulleys for my BA and they only lasted a few months before needing to be replaced. One was literally falling apart. Same thing with bonnet struts. Bonnet struts aren't a big deal but if it's an important part, get OEM or an otherwise trusted brand. They just work and unless it's a consumable part, you won't have to replace it again.
Hi will these bosch injectors fit a ford AU1 motor?
The old parts cannon. But u right. Most stuff needs replacing. Would not use Ebay stuff. My ebay coil lasted 6 weeks. lotta work to do twice.
I've had a lot of luck with eBay parts, but definitely not for injectors!
What a sick intro
Fuel pressure regulator? My ef had the same issue. Would only start second try.
I am going to check that out too.
Have experienced this on a territory was a fuel pressure reg
Man I really do love the new intro definitely keep it up. By the way have you got the turbo kit for the AU Fairmont Ghia yet? Or are you still collecting parts for it?
Not yet, it's still just an idea. If I do see parts cheap enough though I may consider grabbing them.
@@MotoringBoxTV Yeah that would be great if you could. How many amateur shots have you now got for the BA Falcon feature video?
Got around 10 good ones so far, so I need about the same amount again.
@@MotoringBoxTV so you need about 20 videos. Damn I wish that we still had our XR6. Could've thrown a few single peggers with it I guess. 🚗🌫 😔
Another fun fact if you push the wire clips on the injector plug you can pull them out without the stuff around of pulling them pack
I had a prik of a time getting that last bolt out and those spring clips. Lucky I got a magnet.
The spray pattern will tell u what injectors are like. Attach current to - and + the + should be marked on side then fit a rubber tube over in end. The big rubber seal comes off. Don't try and take the small one off. Seal a tube spray in rubber tube. Connect + and squirt it fru. Injectors will make a small click noise when opening.
Could you please send me a link to purchase injectors for a 2001 AU ute ( dedicated LPG)?
hi mate, just checked out the video, I`m not an expert by any means, but the the ford service manual says to lube the injector O rings with a light coating of engine oil, and not to use petroleum jelly,not sure why, but maybe something to dowith addatives not being good for the rubber. good video though mate
I think the consensus is it doesn't matter.
great videos man
Utube loves comments
New intro is mint
Love the flash new intro..👍👍
It's an intake air leak OR MAP Sensor issue OR low fuel pressure ( check delivery rate & regulator on the rail ).
Other than that its the ECU/PCM. ( poor hot water over it when cold test! )
Leads on an AU MUST be covered in plastic conduit anywhere they can touch metal.
Eagle brand box sets of 8mm leads are best.
Thermostat should have 2 holes opposed on outer rim to allow water flow before opening too( HOT TIP ).
You should also reset KAM Values after making base idle changes. ( KEEP ALIVE MEMORY )
Is the start issue solved or did it just seem to be but came back?
Solved!
Just a question - in your opinion/experiece, are falcons total gas guzzlers or are they reasonable?
Depends, I'm used to it but some people will consider them thirsty. Depending what sort of driving you do you might expect 12L/100km for a mix of town and highway for an AU 6.
@@MotoringBoxTV thanks mate - I do love these things.
My AU GHIA has been a bit cranky starting lately as well
It's a real pain, and makes the car sound like a bit of a dunga.
It also can idle rough. Though it is intermittent some days it starts and runs completely fine other days it cranky to start and idles rough but seems to be running fine otherwise
same goes for a bf greentop? cheers
Nice video just wondering when you said to set the idle at 700 is that in Park neutral or drive because the car idles higher in park then in neutral thank you
Should be at idle in park. Going by the analog gauge on the dash is pretty hard though, in the end I adjusted it a few times until it just sounded right. Make sure this is when the engine is at proper running temperature too.
@@MotoringBoxTV cheers thanks for your reply , mine's a ED Falcon 94 . was thinking about putting AU injectors in there a 4 Squirtt system wear mine single , my idle is around 900 in park 400 in neutral but that 900 in park I think come down a little when I put new O2 sensor in I think really made a difference as well cheers I'll aim for 700 in park thank you .... splendid ..work ...!
The 0-40 kph in my 99 Fairmont is very sluggish, maybe injectors would be my go to :-)
Great videos
Glad you like them!
Mcm inspired intro.. (; good work mate
I call them clips jesus clips if your not careful getting them out and they flick into the most random annoying places its like "jesus where did it go" love the vids tho mate keep up the good work.
Not wrong! In the end I worked out you can leave them on the connector and just move them up a few mm. Makes it tons easier.
@@MotoringBoxTV First time I did injectors I removed the clips like you did (and lost one), second time I just moved them up a bit and left them on the plug. Third time I learnt a bit about the bosch EV1 connectors and realised it's a spring clip, all you have to do is press on the flat wire and the sides spring out - leave the clip where it is - and you can easily just pull off the plug :D
maaate, i need to get to the leaky welch plug under my AU intec inlet manifold :(
any tips? do i need to remove the injectors?
I have the top half off the fuel injection
I've not done that job before, so I'm not sure if going from the top or underneath would be better. I imagine from the top the entire intake manifold would need to come off. Not fun.
Try Forscan dude. Works on most Fords
Have you replaced the ecu yet, that might help. Or the bolt that holds the coolant reservior on hahaha sorry mate.
Sure that'd help, I found the BA had plenty of space even with a thicker radiator. Putting a piece of ply or thick cardboard to protect it is a great idea though.
it's good that you used your pinky finger, anything bigger can end up being a big mistake, and you don't want any trauma or disinterest.
What about putting upgraded injectors ?
Out of the question on a stock ECU unfortunately
I use fuel doctor you can get it from super cheap auto it will keep your fuel system clean
