Something Shiney

[Sparky83]

Got me a little box from Rancho Cucamonga CA today... It contained shiney objects... Sure hope they solve my miss fire issue.. because the next 2 things in line are injector harness and ficm as theyre the only 2 things that i can think of to be the cause...

tried ordering factory ones from a friend but 2 weeks later his still havent shown up.. doubt ill ever get them.. Found these online.. Guy had a really good rep... hope they work like the others who repped him did...

still cant get over how big these things are...

tore into the engine again today...

one of these things is not like the other...

can you spot the difference..

pretty sure that is supposed to be in one piece...

No I can't but subscribed.

 

[Sparky83]

well the coils should be firmly attached to the injector... and that long skinny bolt should be in 1 piece not 2...

 

[DNFXDLI]

I see.

 

[Sparky83]

seems happier now... although shes got air in the oil rail again.. so now I gotta live through that again...

That's cool, our Subcontractor just had 3 changed for a miss....had the whole lot done 100k miles ago with new Ford ones, he was a bit grumpy.
I'm sure mine are going to be due as well.

 

[Sparky83]

I only did 2 even though I had codes for 3.. I didn't buy my new injectors bad... so will see how it goes...

 

[DNFXDLI]

Hopefully it solves your problems.

Be thankful you don't live here and buy a Cat one...$1800 each

 

[Sparky83]

it was $1500 for 3 to be changed last time...

They sure are not cheap to work on!

I 've changed several with those bolts like that. All to often you can't find the nut.

i got lucky... Dad was going the whole time "your not going to find it.. its in the oil pan... "

little magnet wand found it...

seems happier with the new injectors...

Still has a small feeling like its not running 100% right. But least it doesnt feel like its not struggling to run now. Also noticed with the 2 injectors now working that its actually getting over 180 on the coolant temps. But still not passing the 190 bar. Mc tstat mins at 192 to open. Highest i was seeing before was 175. Now im getting to 185. Figured id drive it around for a week plus the 3 hr trip one way to nc house next weekend. When i get back ill have the guy that scanned it last time scan it again for me to see what it says this time. If 7 shows up again i might just take it in again.

Hoping the 4 hrs i had the driver side battery disconnected cleared out all the codes it might have set during the last month
