bad fuel injectors

Would a few bad injectors shut down all the injectors and make my car not run? 91 GTA
1=13.4
2=16.6
3=7.7
4=15.7
5=14
6=1.5 ohms
7=17
8=10.8
is it normal for them to all go bad at once?

Re: bad fuel injectors

My 2.8l Beretta would shut itself off with 2 bad injectors. Looks like you need a new set.

Re: bad fuel injectors

Having bad injectors overheats the inector drivers in the ECM and causes them to shutdown. It would probably run for a few minutes and then die out.

Re: BAD FUEL INJECTORS

Never heard of this issue (shutting down). I recently replaced 4 bad injectors with Ford SVO's (the GM Multecs are overpriced ).

Car idled and ran like a bag of sh*t, but never had a shut-down problem.
