So I sent my injectors to the reputable injector guru and got them back within 2 weeks then installed. The car ran very well before the cleaning but ran happier with the serviced injectors (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)
But after about 40 or so miles, #3 cylinder stopped firing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) The plug in the #3 cylinder got sooty and there was unburnt gas in the right bank of the HE. Other 3 plugs look good. I wonder if the recently serviced injector has failed or something else has gone bad (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) The car runs OK only about 5 min. if the plug is cleaned, then starts to reduce power with gas smell and frequent popping along with acceleration. I also noticed the motor does not want to rev up high when this happens. What could be the reasons to misfire beside a failed injector? Please list. Thanks in advance (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) |

If you moved it from 3 to 4 and the miss moved with it I would have to say that it is the injector. I assume that the injector connectors stayed at their respective positions and that you did not move the connectors with the injectors when you switched them.
