Merry Christmas!!
Had injector 7 go bad. failed buzz test. I cleaned the spool valve and replaced the coils from another injector I replaced that had a cracked tip, and reinstalled. Had much better (but not full) power, less vibration, but still failed power balance (cylinder 7 contribution). Then I swapped Parts back to injector with cracked tip, and swapped the tips. Now has full power (as far as I can tell), but still gets cylinder 7 contribution code. Because of previous power surges (didn't notice the decline part) and engine occasionally completely shutting down for a split second (hiccup), I suspect the injector harness. Could I have a bad harness that shows as contribution fault, but not circuit high or low? Could this 03' have an otherwise good FICM and only trouble with one cylinder? Which scenario is most likely? Advice?
03 with 275K miles. Stock except for atlas 80 ficm, gutted cat, EgR gone. Engine harness previously failed with sync issue and replaced.
Thanks.
