Genesis....

Install'd me new set of Genesis 380 injectors today!

I must write, they made noticable improvements on the drive immedietly following their install!

First, the engine runs smoother.

Idle's better and feels to be more live-ly

Tomorrow morning will be the real test, as cold starts, is where I had misfire issues with the older Siemens injectors.

Hopefully the Genesis injectors will cure the misfires, as I've already change everything else!

so, how was your first cold start morning?

I tested mine as well this morning, it was -22C with the wind chill factor (-7.6F). Car started fine, just about 2 seconds of rough idle and then the idle stabilized. After a bit of warming up, no misfires whatsoever. The Bosch were giving me attitude at 32F and I even had to keep the revs up to prevent misfires until the car reached 1/2 way to operating temperature (a few times, it stalled on me).
So far I am quite pleased, I hope you enjoy your Genesis as well.
BTW, did you manage to avoid the dreaded "Catalytic Insuficiency" DTC with your HFC, I am very interested to know.
Good Day.
