3.3 buick century

Okay got the century running to some extent.

Foudn a noticable miss. Disconect one injector no change in idle # 5

reconect and disconect # 3. No change in idle. Reconected then disconect #1 engine dies. Hook back up and restart



Did the same thing on #6 engine dies reconect and started it. Disconect # 4 car dies. Reconect and restart. DIsconect #2 car still runs and no change

I then disconect injectors 2 3 5 and car still runs. I am thinking that three of my injectors are cloged. and need replacement. I check the Ohms and they read 0.019 the same as the good injectors. Is there something that I am missing.

2 4 6


1 3 5

Re: 3.3 buick century

I'm suprised that the car will even start with only 3 injectors firing. Have you tried hooking up a noid light to see if those injectors are getting a pulse signal from the ECM?

Re: 3.3 buick century

I swap the injectors plugs around in other words use number 3 on number one with the same results. The injectors did not change operation.

So that would lead me to believe that power is going to the injectors becuase I used a diferent plug on the same side.

Re: 3.3 buick century

The injectors on these engines work in series, so if one is dead shorted, it will kill the signal to the bank it is on. I still can't believe the car starts on only 3 cylinders if your testing is correct and you have 3 that make no change to the way the engine runs.

Re: 3.3 buick century

I dont think that they are shorted I think they are pluged. Mu 3.1 1992 firebird had two bad injectors and still ran.

I have a spare set of injectors I am going to swap out this weekend the three that are not working and see what happens. WIll keep you posted.

Re: 3.3 buick century

Okay I did swapa the injectors and they replacement injectors do not work also. So I swap the # 1 injector to #5 postion. And trhen the new #1 injhctor worked but # 5 did not. What the heck. Can this be because the computer was disconected.

It has the same symptons. I am sedriously thinking about junk this POS and finding another car.
