FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
THE WIRES THAT CONNECT TO THE FUEL INJECTORS APPEAR TO HAVE THEIR INSULATION MELTED AWAY REVEALING THE COPPER WIRE. MULTIPLE INJECTOR WIRES ARE INVOLVED. THE INSULATION IS MISSING A THIRD OF THE CIRCUMFERANCE AND ABOUT 17MM IN LENGTH. I SUSPECT EXCESS ENGINE HEAT HAS CAUSED THIS DEFECT. THE DEFECT WAS ONLY SPOTTED WHEN THE PLASTIC ENGINE COVER WAS REMOVED DURING IN INSTALLATION OF A AFTERMARKET CRUISE CONTROL DEVICE.
