The only damage could be done to O2 sensors and cats. They get coated by led and become non- functional. The ECU gets no input, might even not be able to start the engine.
Even small ammount of led is deadly for O2 sensors and cats.

There is no harm on injectors, or any other parts. Led is easy on valves and seats.
