Hi guys,
I am not new to the forum but this is my first post. I have a 1999 Legnum VR4.

I've had the car for a little over a year now. On Thursday morning as I pulled up to park in a carpark it started smelling of petrol and the revs where jumping up and down in park. After work, the car wouldn't start so got a mate to jumpstart it for me so I can move it out to the street to get it towed to Meek. They did a diagnosis and told me the fuel has flooded the engine. They put in 2nd hand injector and spark plugs and told me it was safe to drive so I took it home. They told me to drive it around to get rid of the fuel smell. I drove it to work the next morning and as I got close to work I started to feel small misfires. After placing the car in park, the revs were bouncing up and down so I turned the engine off. That afternoon, I got my workmate to jumpstart the vehicle again to drive it down to the street. I haven't spoken to Meek yet seeing as they are closed.

Love to hear your feedback.

Cheers,
Simon.

If you were going to replace injectors it may be worth considering an upgrade (depending on if you have any other supporting mods yet).

If you don't have your car modified yet, or aren't interested in tuning the car at a later date, just stick with a new / second hand pair of OEM injectors either from TME Steve or various other popular VR4 part stockists. Meek should have them too.
