Fueling problems to No4 Cylinder

I've heard this cylinder can run lean and cause problems....
So when does this happen?
How can it be stopped?

Thanks

Walton

I don't know how true it is, but I'd heard that it's mostly caused by the fuelling: No4 cylinder injector is on the end of the fuelling line, so can suffer from lower pressure and thus run lean. This in turn causes det, and piston melt, plus bearing damage.

One way to help alleviaite it is to fit a parallel fuel rail mod.
