Subaru Forester Fuel Injector

Forester FB25 injectors: port injection; 4 injectors; typical lifespan 150,000 km; fouling from short-trip city driving causes rough idle; injector cleaner in fuel every 30,000 km helps; full cleaning service at 100,000 km
Forester injector diagnosis: P0300 series misfires (P0301–P0304) indicate injector or plug issue; do cylinder balance test with SSM4 — identifies which cylinder is weak; swap suspect injector with known good to confirm
Forester injector cleaning: ultrasonic cleaning restores clogged injectors; cheaper than replacement; should test spray pattern and flow rate after cleaning; replace if flow rate deviation above 5% between injectors
Forester injector O-rings: injector O-rings harden over time; leak at injector O-ring causes fuel smell in engine bay; replace O-rings when doing injector service; O-ring kit available separately
