Re: 4.3 CPI Injector replacement pictures

I wanted to come back on here and tell you guys my "story" with this car, and what I've been through...and what "I" did to fix it.

No, I didn't burn the darn thing..lol
Original diagnostics codes were all repaired..stupid me. It even included a transmission. Made since to me since the throttle kept taking off and it shifted from OD/D. After 4 mechanics..neither helping at all, I read these forums. Trust me, everything yours is doing, mine was doing. It almost seened electronic. Here's what I did.

I removed the positive battery cable. I unhooked the ECM and cleaned all the plug-ins with Ether.I left it unhooked for about 2 hours while I....took out all the fuses, cleaned all of them and the connections. (Some were very dirty) I cleaned every connection I could find. I threw some Lucas fuel System Cleaner in for good measure, I replaced the TPS (again) and the Idle Control Valve. And then...I hooked up the battery and started the Engine.

I"ve had this car for almost a year now, and it has NEVER EVER ran like this or had so much power. It's like a totally different car.

I also found there were several recalls on this car. My brakes and the ABS are part of the recall. Link is below. I bought myself a manual, and the best part is...I finally fixed it myself. Wish I woulda done this 6 months ago.
