rowtree Member 13 Member For: 16y 4m 24d Posted 22/01/11 05:39 AM Share Posted 22/01/11 05:39 AM Just changed from the stock injectors to the siemens and was told this could be done without a retune, just that it would run a little rich, however its running like a pig, blowing smoke, wont idle, sounds like its missing? Anyone experienced the same problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
