Bad Injector or Bad Coil Pack?
My VE is running rough and I have a code 51, so it looks like I have a bad injector. I tested the 3 accessible without taking the intake manifold off (there's no way to test injectors 1, 3, and 5 without taking off the intake manifold, is there?) and my number 4 injector measures infinite resistence (my multimeter just stays at a "1"). I thought I remembered reading somewhere that a reading of "1" on the injector could mean that you have a bad coil pack, is that true? It doesn't really make sense to me but I thought I remembered hearing something like that somewhere
Also, is it possible to replace the #4 injector by just unscrewing the 2 screws on the cap and pulling it out, or would I need to take off the intake manifold and everything?
Thanks!
