Fuel Injector

[Dx18704]

My ecu is throwin out the code for a bad fuel injector but my check engine lite isnt on.......ummm does that mean it has to be replaced or what how much money would an injector cost and how do i do it if it has to be done

Thanx

the ECU stores codes until its reset. If the check engine light came on like a year ago, but was never reset it would stll be in the ecu and still show the code. Have you had any fuel injector work? if not you might wanna look into what the problem is.

i dont think thier was any fuel injector work the only reason i looked at my ecu was because every so often my car would just like stall for no reason can it be the fuel injector?!!? HOw much would it cost for a new one

First you have to figure out which one it is. If the check engine light isn't on than i wouldn't worry about it

Yeah, reset your ECU first, then check again.

how do i reset it

i think you just pull the hazard fuse under the hood for like 10 to 15 seconds

Or undo the -/ terminal on the battery. But that resets everything.

[plkelley]

that would work, but now that i think about it i think I read somewhere that you should always disconnect the battery before removing hazard fuse....that doesnt sound right does it

just disconnect the negative terminal...be safe

They say 10-15 seconds. But I always go a few minutes just to be safe.

If your ecu is showing code 16 then you have a bad injector most likely. I have recently experienced the same problem. No engine light, but a miscellaneous starting problem.
A re-manuf. injector at an parts house will cost you about 100. I am still looking for a good injector used.

Good luck

if i reset it and it gives it to me again.......how many fuel injectors are thier and how do i know which one is bad.....cause today once again my car stalled and its an auto what the hell can be causing that

[GTA]

there are 2 injectors on a DX....i dont know how to tell if they are bad though.

I know someone who may still have his DPFI swap leftover, if anyone wants the injectors.
