Hello!

 

I would recommend to check feul trigger on that cylinder. Fuel trigger is the signal from the computer to the injectors. You would use a tool called a noid light. It simply plugs into the injector connector after the fuel injector is unplugged and should blink when the engine is cranked over or running. It looks like this.

amedee; what should I do if the light stays on? I have replaced the injectors with known good ones, replaced the ECM and whin I replaced the ECM it ran good for about 2 minutes and went back to the sam. The service engine light was on with the first ECM and was off with the second until it started flooding the sam cyl. again. Bob

Accepted Answer

Bob,

 

If the light remains on, then we will have to go directly to the computer and back probe the signal wire to this injector at the computer connector. If it still is pulled to ground, then you will have to cut it about 2 inches or so away from the computer and retest each side of the wires that you cut. (The one coming from the computer and the one going to the injector.)

 

If the one coming from the computer remains grounded, then the computer driver is holding the injector open. If not, then the problem remains ion the wiring harness somewhere.
