well i just wanna know if theres anything causes the same injector to go bad over and over... my 2nd injector went bad again.... & this is the 3rd time it happens.. no other one has gone bad just the 2nd one and ive changed it 2 times already before.. what makes the same injector go bad over & over? :confused: or is it just bad luck?

What do you mean by bad? New o-rings? grease on o-rings when installed?

i mean the injector stops working pretty much running on 3 cylinders..
its nothing to do with o-ring or leaking... just stops working and yes i grease the o-ring before putting the injector in
 
how long does it work for before it goes bad? and how do you know it goes bad? are you sure its not always been bad? it stops spraying? it sticks open?

well i had this one on for about 3 months the previous one went bad about 2 months after i put it on.... and i know it stops working cause when i disconnect that injector it has no reaction as to when i disconnect the others the car reacts as it should when u unplug an injector...

Make sure it's getting fuel and not running dry, Or the wires aren't grounding out somewhere. Both of those can greatly diminish the life of it.

maybe you should take your rail out separte it from the injectors and clean it.

check the spark plug and match it to one of the others, do you have spark in that cylinder?

why would it have anything to do with the spark plugs? im sure i got spark... just the injector stops working...

make sure your not supplying to much power to the injector, if its shorting or anything. you could be sending too much voltage to the injector which would kill it.

make sure none of your wiring is messed with.
 
Could be a bard harness, could be grounding out somewhere remote and doing it only every once in a while. This honestly sounds electrical to me since you've already cleanliness and made sure it's getting enough fuel.
 
thanks for the answers.
but ima try this again and put another working injector in... if this one goes bad after a a while again.. then im sure its something fuked up and not just bad luck..
 
well i just put my last extra working injector in and car is back up and running fine...
lets see if this shit happens again...
