Re: Lean Running on 3 Cylinders

Pull the plugs and see what it looks like on piston. . Try to get one from each Try for the area below the manifold on the heads or from the underside. Lean is very bad for an engine. Think holed pistons bad. Until you verify that it is or isn't running lean I wouldn't be planning any trip.

As for possible causes. It is possible both are running lean and then I'd look at the fuel filter but if it is just that one side I'd pull and clean everything. There are plenty of places that bench clean and test injectors for about $20 a pop. Rails to and I'm not sure but I think the SVX has regulators on each rail. That could be bad.
