Okay, so I got the new injectors on. Drove it out to my buddy’s place about 25 miles. Had the typical stumbles on the way after driving for a bit. We let it cool down and swapped them out (pretty easy on this vehicle)
After starting it back up the RPM's were higher than normal at around 1500 and then eventually settled. Seemed to be running pretty smooth. Cranked the A/C and drove it down the road and back, went okay but then felt slight stumbles. Let it idle for a while and the issue started again, even stalled out while idling.
It did throw a couple new codes related to the injectors p0202 and p0205 along with p300. Never had a code from cylinder 2 before.
We checked all the wiring, everything was connected and it kept doing it. He did mention he heard a slight hissing like there might be an air leak around the throttle area so we made sure everything was tightened down good.
I had a bottle of Seafoam intake spray with me and decided to do another treatment. Had some stumbles As we started and holding the RPM's at 2,000 while spraying but it started going away and stayed good. Finished the treatment and let it soak. Once restated I was revving it up pretty good and kept it going. I noticed it would not go above 4,000 RPM's like it was restricted or something. Would stay smooth right up to 4,000 but would not let it go above, almost like it would get pushed back down. My friend thinks maybe a safety feature to restrict the RPM's from getting too high? Not sure.
Anyway after some time being aggressive with the throttle I turned it off and let it cool down for a while. Left to go home and it seemed to hesitate just slightly when I restarted but then it drove home 25-30 miles at 60-70 MPH and it was perfect. No stumbles, no hiccups nothing. To be fair, it was much nicer outside, it’s been really hot here during the day. Humid and in the 90's but it was in the lower 80's when I went home and I did not run the A/C. But this was definitely the best I’ve felt it drive so far and had no pending codes when I got back. Fuel trims seemed better as well. Not sure what’s going to happen after it sits overnight and when it’s hotter again. Weird to get those two injector codes as well.
