one of my fuel injectors is missing the filter basket. is that extremely dangerous or would i be ok to drive it for a couple days.

are you referring to the mixing plates, which reside in the LIM??? never mind you mean on the injector nipple.

if you look into the injector from the top there is a screen looking thing in there, its the filter basket and there isnt one in one of the secondary injectors.

uhhhh, your car is going to blow up! Don't run it.

JK, JK, it's not a good idea to run it without that screen. It keeps crap and deposits from clogging your injector. I'd recommend not running the car with it in there, but if you're willing to clog one injector (and you don't flog the car after you do this, and assuming your NA) then you should be okay for a little while.

I had 3 injectors with those screens still in them almost completely clogged, shipped 'em out to KGparts to be cleaned and they said they were some of the worst ones they'd ever seen. Just be weary, if you can't afford to ship them out to be cleaned I'd think you'd better not run the 7 on them.

I keep seeing this kg parts name everywhere. Are the expensive? and how do i contact them? also yes i am running the car only for today because i didnt have time to put the old injector back in last night. Is it possible to find a place where i could get just the filter basket..

Thanks
