124,700 miles and my first problem.
I even drove the car home under its own power!
Part of this is quoted from the chatroom, so please excuse the broken english. I dont feel like typing it again.
while i was driving on the highway,
the check engine light started flashing
i took the nearest exit and pulled over.
The car sounded like a motorcycle (Especially with the flowmasters...)
sounded like i was on 2 or 3 cylinders. It also ran extremely rough, barely keeping its idle.
I started messin around with things, checkin connections and whatnot. All the while the check engine light keeps flashing.
I think its the fuel injectors
i dont think some of them are getting any voltage
i pulled the 3 electrical plugs on the front 3 injectors
the way the car ran didnt change for 2 of them
and it ran worse when i pulled one of them
so i limped home and here i am.
So what do yall think happened? I had no warning, it was just all of a sudden. The car ran slightly sluggish just prior to the check engine light flashing. Also worth noting, theres alot of black soot coming out of the exhaust now. And my other question is, what controls the injectors? Do you think 3 or so injectors could just up and quit working at the same time?
