clogged injectors.... i just replaced my valve cover gaskets.. knock sensor and crank seal and now i got a check engine light and a sputtering engine. i checked the engine code and it flashed 15, so is there a way to unclog the injectors without taking them off?

 

Wanna hear something funny my injector took a long as.s shi.et on me today. Only way around it is intake manifold and take it out and replace it. Nothing can help it now. And for a piece of advise change all of them while you're at it will save a lot of money in the future. Thats what i am doing in 2 days changing 5 fuel injectors. I had 1 fuel injector replaced and it was costy.

 

i fixed it with seafoam just now thanks tho..i poured a whole can of it into the tank and just started driving the car normally.. sputtering went away.. but my ecu is still flashing 15.. and check engine light is still on.. do i need to reset the ECU ?

 

in all my VEs I've never had a CEL.
and that includes replacing 10 injectors.

 

so what could it be?

 

yeah i just had bad injectors. no cel but had black smoke and skipping and lagging

 

could be that yours failed that miserably...

 

Just FYI, the two that failed on me worked intermittently until they crapped out for good so I wouldn't be so sure you've "fixed it".

And yes, I got a CEL whenever they would stop working.

 

well mine were stuck open. maybe you only get the light when there completely dead

 

My cel would come one and the car would run rough, then the cel would turn off and the car ran fine. Just had my injector replaced but haven't had time to pick up the car.

 

Changed 5 fuel injectors toady kinda mad spended my whole week paycheck but dam it was worth it now i think i got a vacum leak and the car after it sits for like 20 minutes doesnt start with 1 crank takes 2 so kinda mad about it. Some ideas would be great i also did check for all the hoses to be connected right and it looks good but i am gonna take it to my mechanic tommorow.
