You reported on another forum that you were running an aftermarket tune on track when your problem started. You stated that you were having that shop flash it back to stock before taking it in for your warranty claim. I'd say your damn lucky Toyota put a new motor in your car. Don't you think the AM tune would be good info to include here? Your giving the impression that a stock setup failed, when in fact, you had a local tuner messing around with your ECU prior to your problem. As a matter of fact, I have a friend that lost a NC Miata motor running a tune from the same guy, and you were informed of that in the same thread.

We need a "I had my injector and seals replace by a 3rd party because Subaru refused to" category. Here is what my mechanic found when he pulled my injectors:

Well shit! That doesn't look good. I plan on taking my car to Subaru soon for the popping noise but it sounds like they're not going to do shit about it.

My mechanic charged $350 to replace the seals - labor only.
The Subaru dealer quoted me $800 - labor only. |

Thanks. Did you happen to see how long it took him to remove the manifold and injectors to inspect them? I'd like to do this on my own if it's not too difficult.

Putting the seals on was a real pain. I gave them eight and they spent two hours and several seals trying to recover the pitted injector. After this we decided the mating surface was too damaged so we punted and just order a new injector with factory installed seals. On the other three injectors they worked out a heating, cooling, and silicon lube strategy that seemed to work well. Last edited by romin; 06-13-2013 at 06:38 PM. |

i knew someone would get this...
this is what ive gotten from skimming the other threads 1 popping noise is first recognized on cold starts (for most people) since the engine isn't warmed up. Everything has not expanded with heat. This is a tell tail sign that the part was manufactured improperly because the seal is in fact not 100% sealing the combustion chamber. The part should function properly whether or not the engine is at running temperature. Cold start after cold start, these seals become more damaged and the noise is pressure getting past the seal into the area which the injectors sit. The damaged seals soon begin to fail at operating temperatures and the popping noise is now present when the engine reaches its factory redline. 2 Factory redline. This is a point at which, but not the engines maximum, where the engine crosses between safe running conditions into an rpm range that is considered "damaging" to the engine. A fuel cutoff or spark cutoff is put in place to keep us out of the danger zone. Running the car to redline puts more stress on the engine, yes, but it is still within what the manufacture deems the engines safe operating range. If the redline was deemed unsafe, they would set a lower rev limit. Generally speaking, we as consumers put faith in the factory redline. The car is advertised to go into that range so we must consider it ok to go there. If the company knowingly set a higher redline than what is safe and engine failures occure from running the engine to the factory redline, the company has done false advertising to it's consumers. At this point it is no longer the consumers fault and the cost should be absorbed by the manufacture. 3 This is a BRAND NEW CAR, things fail on older cars with age. Any problems on a NEW car that can be replicated by many other cars driven under vastly different conditions (hard, racing, or putting around town) then it needs to be fixed under warranty. Parts aren't made perfectly, but are made under a tolerance range. It is not the consumer's fault that the manufacture looked over fully testing the part. for example. (this is for example purposes only) lets say the tolerance measurements for a specific part is. .987734 in - .987730 in. (Part A) and the part it couples with has a measurement of .987740 in. -.987742 in. (Part B) What if they only tested the tolerance ranges of A(.987734 in - .987730 in.) with 1 specific size of Part B (.987740 in.) they would not have recognized a failure due to incomplete testing. (example only used 1 engine to test the range of tolerances for the injector seals) maybe by chance everyone that had a failure had a part A with measurements of .987730 in. and a part B .987742. That gap, no matter how minuscule, slowly fails over hundreds of millions of revolutions (which isnt much engine time) we might be seeing low problem rates because of how rare the chances might be, but if they had adjusted the allowable tolerance to a smaller amount, then no failures would have been present. further more, there are people who have bought the car that arent on the forums so we dont hear about it, and then there are those who are on the forums who have no idea what the noise is and dont care to look into it... why? because its a new car and shouldnt have problems anyways. A broken part will last a long time if the car isnt driven hard but the part is still BROKEN. Thats why some of us wont see the injector seal problem till much later, but its still broken/manufactured incorrectly. my camry has a thrown rod bearing, i can hear it every time i start the car with the loud "BANG BANG BANG" for the first 1/2 second, but its been running like that for 20k miles...
