If an injector had been replaced with a refurbed or new one by a PO, but the ECU hadn't been updated to reflect the new injector code, what would the symptom(s) be?

The engine can have some roughnes especially at high revs and it will mix up a bit the balance of all 5... might not be very noticeable depends on how much different is the code from the previous one and the fuel map version too

Personally I think sometimes if an injector fails it can also damage the engine

You could whip the rocker cover off and get the codes for each injector then get it plugged in with hawkeye etc and check the codes quite simple tbh
Fuel map would be in the ecu rather than the injector wouldn't it? So shouldn't matter no? Just asking

I know this for a fact, cos my number 4 went dodgy and melted the piston top.

I have no idea what made me think of this today, it was just one of those "what happens if..." questions.
here's us thinking you were worried about symptoms.

You have the nanocom , read the codes and then pop the rocker cover off and check, very easy to , just be careful refitting so it seals correctly and watch your torque.
Oh, the reason you thunk of it , is probably because it is running right and you need to think of the way it is going to bite you derriere next....LOL

Once I get the ECU back and I've got over how good it is, I'll check the injectors to make sure they're coded correctly in it.

Thanks for telling me...i thought the fuel map is in the injector
.... though it depends on the version how important is the injector's code
