injectors

Hi there. Check the fuel injectors and see if they are working or not. If the fuel injectors are not working, then you would need to replace the fuel injectors. If the fuel injectors are fine and the engine operates...

This may be a sign of a leaky injector or potentially an incorrect idle air adjustment. A leaky injector can cause a rich fuel condition as it may leak too much fuel into a cylinder not allowing the combustion cycle...

If you feel like the vehicle is flooded, try smelling the tailpipe for gas fumes after trying to start the vehicle. You can also try putting the vehicle in "clear flood mode", or "clear out mode" by holding the gas...

Sounds like you have a clogged fuel filter or dirty injector ports. You may want to try putting a can of Seafoam in your gas tank and see if this will help clean your fuel system out. If you still...

I think that the ignition coil (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/how-long-does-an-ignition-coil-last) is a very likely cause of this issue. Since the spark plugs do not have their own individual coils, if the main ignition coil fails, it could affect all cylinders' ability to spark....

You can service the injectors on the car with an injector machine only and not a direct battery connection or injectors will be damaged. They are designed to only have intermittent power and ground at the same time and not...

It's possible that a leaking injector or injector o-ring could be making your Pontiac smell like gas. These items could also cause driveability issues, such as the ones you describe.There are other potential causes as well though, such as a...

If you have white smoke out of the exhaust and are not getting low on coolant then you may have a cylinder that is low on compression or not firing. Have the misfiring cylinder compression checked on that side of...

Leaks from fuel injectors are typically at the o-ring connection on the fuel rail. When you install the injector o-ring, you have to use a liberal amount of engine oil and twist the o-ring in along with the injector. Also,...

Yes, you are absolutely on the right track but to complete the diagnostic job you will need the complete circuit diagram (Factory Service Manual, for instance) because you will have to test all the different segments of the circuit until...

Hi, in this case it could be any of these things that you've mentioned. I would start at checking the battery for proper voltage. If voltage is correct then I would check the fuel pump and relay. If there is...

It could be the spark plug (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/symptoms-of-bad-or-failing-spark-plugs), ignition coil (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/symptoms-of-a-bad-or-failing-ignition-coil), or coil boot causing the misfire. You may also have dirty fuel injectors (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/symptoms-of-a-bad-or-failing-fuel-injector) that need to be cleaned. Have the ECM scanned to see if the misfire code is...

Hello. If you are getting codes for the injectors themselves then they may be electrically failing and in need of replacement. I would typically check their resistance with an ohm meter to verify if they are bad, as a bad...

You need to pull out the coil and check to see if there is oil in the spark plug hole, or on the plug wire boot. If there is, then replace the valve cover and spark plug boots after cleaning...

This could be a fuel delivery issue, but it is hard to say exactly. Your vehicle has a complex engine control system that can self diagnose issues most of the time. Start by having the computer read and see if...

Hey there. This may be caused by a few different things which all seem to indicate you have a fuel supply problem. This may be caused by low fuel pressure, dirty or faulty fuel injectors (bus not starting), low voltage...

If the fuel injectors have never been serviced, that would be a good start on a car of this age. To do it right the injectors have to be removed from the fuel rail and sent out for cleaning to...

If you are referring to the electrical solenoid within the injector, like any electrical part it can fail due to degradation of the insulation, wire breaks and so forth. The injector can be tested while still on the car and...

From your description, the cylinders are being oversupplied with fuel. If the fuel trims (from a scanner) are high negative, for sure there is too much fuel and a diagnostic would be required to determine why. Just as an example,...
