I have a 1999 international with 444E. The driver side manifold is much colder that passenger side. The truck also has to be started on ether. I removed valve cover and started disconnecting injector wires to see if it would make engine run worse to determine if that injector was firing. I have 3 of the 4 on that side disconnected and engine runs the same as if they were connected. Could it be 3 bad injectors? Any ideas or things to check? I tried removing one because I have one new one but it's stuck and won't come out. Any trick to getting stuck ones out? Thanks for any help
Buzz test it just like we do on the 7.3 Ford. Torqpro app could probably do it.
I'd pull the injectors on that bank and look for a blown o-ring. If the o-rings are ok, I'd pull the high pressure manifold and look for a blown gasket . IIRC it's a tin gasket, fuel on one side oil on the other. Good luck.
It's Cat HEUI, right?
Yes heui
I used a pickle fork to pop it out on the stuck number 8 one. A 1 5/8" one works if you get it in there right https://www.amazon.com/Astro-78807-5-Piece-Pickle-Separator/dp/B00P3O22PO . Though before that, unbolt it and try cranking it and see if it will launch across the shop
You remove the screw that's exposed (8mm) then slide the retainer over. Then you use a lady foot to pry under the retainer. Itll pop right out. Make sure the retainer is not hung up on the other screw, you will bend it
Ended up being 2 bad injectors in driver side. I ran engine with no valve cover and I saw no oil coming out of oil exhaust. Runs great now.
