Fuel injector expected lifespan? by TeGGeR®
Been lurking here for some time, hoping to absorb the rays of knowledge emitted by (some) posters (Comboverfish...? This is a Honda problem...). Now I have a problem that is sufficiently obscure as to flummox those I depend on most. The problem is also sufficiently annoying to cause me to crawl...
