Ignition coils can be individually replaced without concern as to engine operation however fuel injectors are a different matter. If you replace one fuel injector, the other 7 fuel injectors should be removed from the fuel rail and professionally cleaned....
From your description, the cylinders are being oversupplied with fuel. If the fuel trims (from a scanner) are high negative, for sure there is too much fuel and a diagnostic would be required to determine why. Just as an example,...
Yes, you are absolutely on the right track but to complete the diagnostic job you will need the complete circuit diagram (Factory Service Manual, for instance) because you will have to test all the different segments of the circuit until...
If you are referring to the electrical solenoid within the injector, like any electrical part it can fail due to degradation of the insulation, wire breaks and so forth. The injector can be tested while still on the car and...
Leaks from fuel injectors are typically at the o-ring connection on the fuel rail. When you install the injector o-ring, you have to use a liberal amount of engine oil and twist the o-ring in along with the injector. Also,...
If the fuel injectors have never been serviced, that would be a good start on a car of this age. To do it right the injectors have to be removed from the fuel rail and sent out for cleaning to...
Hi there. The issue is either the fuel injectors are not firing or the fuel pump is not delivering fuel to the fuel rail. Check to see if the fuel pump is working by putting a fuel pressure gauge on...
The injectors on your engine are mounted on a common "rail" and the rail has to come off to change any one injector. Once all of the bolts are out it may be stubborn if the injector O rings have...
If the spark plugs were replaced and there is too much fuel in the exhaust system, then the injectors are leaking and not spraying (atomizing) the fuel properly. A leaking fuel o-ring will make the fuel puddle up outside of...
The noise could be either an ignition coil misfiring and causing the engine to stall on a cylinder making the engine sputter or the engine is sputtering with an injector that is sticking until it get hot as it maybe...
Hi there. The issue that maybe happening is the are fuel injectors that are not firing and there is a vacuum leak on the engine. Possible multiple sensors are not working causing the P2196 and P2198 codes to appear. For...
If you are getting fuel into the oil then you either have a leaking injector or fuel pressure regulator. I recommend having fuel pressure checked and check the pressure regulator vacuum line to see if fuel is getting in it...
Hi there. The check engine light codes are for the engine running lean on bank one and bank two. Check the fuel injectors to see which injectors are not working. A lean condition is when the fuel injector(s) are not...
Check the spark plugs and see if there is park on them as the engine is cranked over. If there is spark, then the ignition coils is working. Check the fuel injectors and see if they are getting fuel to...
Check the engine for a misfire. Check the spark plugs and see if they are working and if there is park to the spark plugs. If the spark plugs are clean and there is spark to the spark plugs, then...
Check the fuel pressure and see if you have 30 psi or more at the fuel rail. If there is fuel pressure, then remove the fuel injector harness to each injector and check for power as the engine is cranked....
Code P0153 is for Air/Fuel Ratio Sensor Slow Response Bank 2 Sensor 1. It's true that this code can be set by one or more failed fuel injectors causing a lean condition, but there are several other potential causes as...
Hello, thank you for writing in. The type of repair you need to do is going to depend on what side of the clip you broke. If you broke the fuel injector side, you will have to replace the injector...
Hi there. The issue may be that when the vehicle was filled up, there may have been trash in the gas tank and it may have been stirred up into the fuel system which may have clogged up the fuel...
Hi there. Your vehicle is in a lean mixture state. The fuel system is not supplying enough fuel to the engine. Check the fuel pump to see if its working by putting on a fuel pressure hose on the fuel...
