Hey guys ive just bought a new car 1989 vn that is fitted with a 304 v8 It starts but is missing and it keeps blowing two of the middle fuel injectors, ive replaced computer,dizzy cap,plugs,leads,fuel reg,ive retimed it, tryed different coil etc. I replaced the two blown fuel injectors and went for a drive and it was going great, got home tuned it off then started it about 10minutes later and it was running like ****. turns out the two injectors i replaced shat them selfs like the last ones. its had headwork done to the engine and ive done a compression test with all high numbers. Any help or ideas would be awesome

my guess would be fuel reg at end of fuel rail, but i see you have changed it. Kind of sounds like its pressurising the fuel rail. That's a strange one. Have you tried goggling the same issues?

I have a feeling its the engine loom that connects to the injectors

Common problem on these motors is the loose connection on the injector plugs.Just remove the plug and close the terminals up and should be sweet.

Multi the impedance at the connection and run the car. Wiggle down the loom and check for shorts

When i wiggle the loom to the injectors well the car is running the revs drop so im guessing its to do with that. i need to get some more injectors before i cant do tests. I can feel the pulse coming from the injector plug when its running so maybe i got back luck with the new injectors blowing like that

Are you buying recons? Sounds like they may just need a recrimp. The ones you have might not be shagged, just under powered

ive got a spare loom here if you want to test for that. its from a VR auto if that matters.

Im leaving the loom to last i think it might be the Hall effect sensor in the dizzy after looking around on goggle, ill get back to you about the loom cheers man.

the meter will show if you have a ****ty connection. You can check the hall with a multi aswell. Its a square wave, an automotive multimeter will allow you to run it and monitor the wave Theyre worth the investment (100ish)

Vn is fixed! turned out to be the dizzy, timing and exposed wire, guy i bought it off was an idiot. glade it isnt the loom. did a burn out in the garage for a celebration! Thanks for all your info guys
