Re: Help with a miss

the mechanic that told you that you should change all the injectors instead of 1 must have a boat payment to make or something. It is important for all the injectors to be balanced (meaning that the injector resistance should be very close to the same on all 6), but there is no reason to change all 6 if only one is bad.

I was suprised to see that the 95 GP and your Malibu use the same injectors Delco # 217-1388 (GM 17113572). If teh resistance in that injector is within .5 ohms of your other 5, then there is no reason not to use it. Just be sure to buy new o-rings for all of them to avoid the chance of a fuel leak.

On plug wires, 500-600 ohms per inch of length is acceptable.
