Description of the problem | The fuel injectors get stuck open causing the engine to flood with gas. One was diagnosed as faulty by moritz kia in hurst texas in october and they replaced it however they only replaced the faulty one l. Today a second one was diagnosed as faulty. So 2 out of the 4 fuel injectors were faulty on a car that's not even a year and a half old. I plan to replace all the original fuel injectors so it will not be a problem in the future however i believe this part is beyond just a accidentally faulty one. The chances of having half the injectors in one car be bad is unbelievable. |
