Re: problem wt a fuel injector on a 92 z28

Well that's about a no-brainer (explains why I can figure it out...)

That injector is bad. Shorted.

Get another.

If these are still the OE Multecs, they are trash from the day they were born. Don't bother with the other 7. Get 8 instead.

Since you didn't tell us which engine is in it: if it's a 305, get the late-model Frod injectors; the orange Bosch "pencil" style ones. You can pick em up all day long on eBay for about $40 a set used, and they don't go bad much. If it's a 350, I think you want the pink Bosch ones, but I don't know off the top of my head what kind of cars they came in.
