I had a random misfire. So, i replaced the injectors. With a very cheap set. After that I started getting crank no starts. So, I replaced the injectors with new OEM. I also replaced the fuel pump, filter, pressure regulator, engine coolant temperature sensor, crankshaft position sensor, camshaft position sensor, mass airflow sensor. I’m still having the crank no start issues. Shops cannot figure it out. I didn’t have this till cheap injectors.

Has the shop or you run the codes? You could have a PCM going bad due to the injectors, if there are no codes, I would try swapping out the PCM which you can get a preprogrammed unit by searching Google or Ebay. Here is the location so you can do the job.

This guide can help you get the codes:

I will try to get a PCM ASAP. It will be a couple days. Is there anything else I could try? It doesn’t do it every time. And the shop did run a computer to it. It has no codes.

I assume the shop checked all fuses, correct? If not check these as well, also do you know if the shop did a CAN scan? You can get a CAN scanner (Controller Area Network) from Amazon.

Here is a video to show you how:

Let me know how it goes.
