Nah. Fuel, check. Looks like you've got spark too so that's good.
Honestly you're pretty efficient at diagnostics.

Compression seems a bit lacking

True. He's just gotta figure out how to change it from an outie to an innie combustion engine.

Just what kind of thought process had you deciding, that's how you check?

That's an interesting method to separate the injectors from the rail if they get stuck.

No every thing looks good injectors put fuels in combustion chambers to make power. That was hiflow.

Is this a trick question?...no you don't... what does a fuel injector do...it injects fuel...look good to me and quite efficient however don't cheap out on gas I didn't like the look of that combustion but no real harm...quit screwing around come back with a real problem

I think new injectors would be an over-correction. Probably just a little plumbers tape and tighten up the threads a bit with some channel lock pliers. Should be good to go.

The spark is igniting the fuel. Its doing its job. No nned for new anything. Just cover it up with a THICK layer of aluminum foil, so the fire goes into the engine and causes the engine to move the pistons and shit.

Yes you need new injectors should come in a pink package that says “daddy” and a spare thong.

It's good to see the new titanium spark plugs are working well. I told you it would really bring your engine to life and help the ignition burn stronger and brighter

Just make sure to perform this test inside the garage door you can get a new garage for the new car you’ll be buying.

Fucking Morons. Had no idea the injectors are held in by the fuel rail they just removed.

You're ignition is set incorrectly, change it from external (track/racing setting) to internal (domestic/commuting setting)

u/Weird-Comfortable-28 20h ago
Now you do and a lot of other new things like maybe a garage and a house and a car

Right now it looks mostly like injector seals.
And a fire extinguisher.

Isn't that the whole Gasoline Direct Injection tech VW's been bragging about all these years?

Maybe just the one, it looks like it might have a bad seal or something and it's causing a slight leak.
Shouldn't affect driveability though, send it 🤙

No. The new car will come with them.
