dead cylinder #2, has spark.. halp!
« on: August 08, 2009, 10:08:42 AM »
alright, so I had inline resistors which have worked fine up until the latest revision. I got the new setup finished yesterday, but to my dismay, the fucker only runs on 3 cylinders.

#2 cylinder spark plug pulled doesn't change the idle, the rest do; checked spark and it's good.. checked resistor wiring and it is still connected (soldered). Can these things go bad?

I'm about to go check continuity, and injector #2 pin wires near the ecu..

any advice?

resistors can burn up, multifunction volt meter is your friend

I have one, and have tested the resistance on each injector plug.. all respond the same.

I get nothing with the ECU unplugged (obviously).. i'm starting to think my ECU took a crap

I'm getting a solid CEL even after I took my jumper wire out of the DTC plug, so I'm thinking the ecu took a dump.. maybe the injector driver?

what i did was swap injector plugs just to be 100% sure its the injector wiring...

then just ran a wire straight from the ecu to the injector..

solid cel for fried ecu but the only problem is one injector doesnt fire?

idk. wierd...

I would swap out the ecu with a known good ecu to check it.
