As I posted a while back, both of my injectors quit working out of nowhere. I've had some people tell me that it's a wiring short but the way it stopped working initally tells me otherwise. One stopped spraying, than the other. Niether of the hot wires on the injector plug is getting power anymore.

Here's what I've done thus far.

replaced the ECM AND the chip....nothing
replaced the mobule within the dizzy (which was actually bad).....nothing
tried providing a ground manually....nothing
put power to the injectors directly from the battery...they both open and dump fuel continously

I've also tried tracing the wires from the injectors back to the computer to search for a short as a friend suggested, but I cannot find the appropriate wires on the ECM plug to test the wiring. A friend told me that according to this diagram I have that there are 2 fuseable links inline on the hot injector wires. I've torn apart the harness apart and I've found nothing...no broken or frayed wires. Hell, all the wires look new.

If anyone can shed any light and or insight on this for me, I'd GREATLY appreciate it. This has been an ongoing problem that I cannot fix, and I need my car back on the road.

Thanks in advance guys!!

(Please pardon the bad spelling, grammer, and my rambeling.)

Nevermind, I'm retarted, I admit it.

Take a wild guess why my injectors weren't fireing. Thats right, 2 friggin fuses. All this time it was 2 damn fuses under the dash. Inj#1 was missing completely and Inj#2 was blown. Slapped 2 new 10 amp fuses in there and wala! She cranked right up.

Here's the real kicker...ya'll are gonna like this.

In my fit of joy I grabbed the first 5 gallon gas can in sight to put some good fuel in her. I put about 1/2 of the 5 gallon tank in there and it was still running funny. So I went ahead and put the rest in. It then started to smoke like all hell and run absolutly terriable. After trying to keep it running for about the 10th time I realized what was wrong. I put diesel in my damn car. A few days ago I put diesel in a normal gas can so we could burn all the downed trees (Katrina). Figures I grab that damn gas can and pour it in there.

Hope ya'll get a good laugh at my expense....I did. But all in all, I'm still absolutly thrilled the damn things running.

Later

You may want to do a search on what diesel does when mixed with gasoline. I thought it turned to gel. Hopefully I'm wrong. I wouldn' t run it till you top the tank off with gas, that way at least the diesel is diluted. If it did go to gel, you'll need to get a new tank and change your fuel filter, and maybe purge the lines.

EDIT: I just read up on what happens when you mix diesel and gas. Gas in diesel is actually an ANTI-gel. In a diesel engine gas burns too hot. In a gas engine the diesel ignites too fast. So I wouldn't drive it till you dilute the mix as much as possible, and keep adding gas as soon as you burn off a few gallons. I wouldn't flog on it till you run a full tank through it.

well damn, it did not kick in to me till right after i read this post , i got a 305tbi camaro 89 , and about 2 weeks ago i put in new car stero system , not only did i blow fuses and did not relize it , i started having fuel injection probs , and the dumbass i am did not think of the damn fuse box , i spent so far 200 bucks on sencors , map , TPS , temp , and was going for CPU after that , but after reading this i just replaced them fuses , and SOB it worked , i am so happy and mad at the same time

A classic example of
"The solution is inversly proportional to the magnitude of the problem".

its my first car , and to tell ya the truth i am not all that handy under the good , but i will do everything till i mess it up and cant do it no more , i would rather learn on my own car then says my old mans plow truck (tho it would be funny)
