Injector tips stuck open... A common problem?
Ok guys so ive got the truck in my sig. dynoed in at 375 / 660 had a set of stock bodies with ddp 140 tips, took those out bought a set of used 5x.016 with .030" lift built by smokem, didnt like what they were doing so i sent them off with my pump and the pump shop found 2 pintles stuck open, pop tested my original 140's today and 3 of those were stuck open, so what im wondering is does this kind of thing happen to lots of you guys of am i doing somthing wrong?

I find it odd that you have 2 sets of injectors from 2 different builders doing the same thing. May want to take a look at your fuel system. Like the filters to make sure your not getting water or dirt to the injectors

Just to clarify, the 5x0.016" do not have 0.030" lift, any needle modifications done are on a case to case basis to suit the application.

It is hard to say without seeing them, that set has been around for some time. Dirt is rarely a cause in an instance such as this, water or rust is far more likely, best bet is to clean the entire system to prevent future issues.
