The injector may short when it gets warm from the motor. Let's see how it does.

It won't blow the fuse.If the ECM see low injector resistance it will shut the injectors down to protect itself.
Try FIC for new injectors.Good pricing and rave feedback

Re: New to TPI and some concerns

After replacing the fuse last night in the car, I went out this morning car started right up just fine and it was colder last night than the night before. Drove to work, got colder today and is drizzly out. Got off of work and go out expecting it to crank over and over and over and it fires right up. Im hoping it WAS the fuse. However this doesnt prove to be what could have been the problem the days it did this when it was 70 degrees correct?
