Tags Looks like you have found the actual cause of all your problems, and don't worry, the injector probably needed cleaning anyway. Some people cannot tell the difference but that is some people. The engine feels smoother with the balance belt on but more vibration is caused by Ona rolling start it's quick(ish).
