A dead injector will cause the engine start and operate when it is cold but not when it is warm.
What happens when the fuel injector is bad?
Performance loss – the engine needs sufficient fuel for a proper, strong combustion. If combustion is impeded, engine power suffers. Rough idling/engine stalling – uneven supply of fuel during idling can cause RPM to fall too low and result in stalling. For example have a listen to this bad fuel injector sound:
What to do if your fuel injector is clogged?
So, next time you are driving your car, motorcycle, or operating any fuel injected piece of machinery, remember to keep an eye out for these symptoms that might indicate dirty, leaking or clogged fuel injectors. Or better yet, avoid them in the first place by using cleaners regularly!

What can I use to clean fuel injectors?
The simplest way to clean and maintain fuel injectors is by using Redex fuel system cleaners. Available for both petrol and diesel engines, our range of specialist cleaning products remove particles from the fuel injectors which may be causing a blockage.
What causes low actuation pressure when replacing injectors?
If your engine was running before replacing the injectors and now it will not. I would fist suspect that one of the Orings on the injectors may have gotten cut and is causing high pressure oil to leak into the fuel system. This will cause low actuation pressure.
