Hi,

My renault clio wont start, I have plugged it into a computer and it tells me that there is a problem with fuel injector number 2.

Is this a relatively easy job to do or shall it need to go to a garage.

Is anyone able to talk me through it, in a bit of an idiot guide form.

Thanks in advance for any help.

As far as aware yes,..
Someone will confirm..
Spray around the injectors, with some penetrating oil, where they push, are held into the inlet manifold, as you only want to change one injector...
When going to refit, smear some grease around the rubber seal/o ring, not to much. This will allow them to push back in, without using to much force.

Inlet manifold will have more than 2 pins holding it on.
8 valve or 16 valve,, what year, might be able to see one, to have a look at.
If you fill your garage in, you will get replies from people with the same engine.

I managed to remove all the parts I needed to but the replacement injector hasn't arrived today as it should have been, is it okay to leave in parts over night. I have half reassembled with out bolts to prevent anything going in oil.

Also this happened when reassembling....

I had plugged the battery back in previous to lock the doors, I was resting the inlet manifold back where it came of and I smelt and saw smoke coming from the starter motor?

I disconnected the battery straight away, what could have caused this as the keys werent evening in the ignition?

Thanks

Something must have touched the large terminal on your starter motor, as you moved everything to close the bonnet...
Move everything from under your bonnet, place them in the boot in a binbag, or even two bin bags...

Build the car back up first, before you try and find a problem....thats not there
You wont be the first, or the last... but would be unlucky if you have done any damage.
Starters can take a lot of stick,
