I strapped on the travel trailer last week to head to the mountains, its a 30' bumper pull, weighs Im gonna guess in the neighborhood of 6000, so its not a beast. I got an hour down the road and started having heating problems, the coolant temp would instantly jump 25 or more every time I would start up a hill and as soon as the fan would lock up it would cool it right back down, when it would do this it would push coolant out the cap. I babied it along and arrived at my destination. The next day I took a drive thru the hills with no trailer and it was running consistantly hotter than normal, on the drive I noticed I was loosing power goin up the hills.
Long story short, I opted to leave the trailer at the campground when I headed home yesterday. The entire 5hr drive home I fought it running hotter than normal and the power constantly fading, infact I nearly didnt make it over Raton pass, now jump ahead to getting home and the moment I pulled in my driveway it developed a dead miss.
I plugged it up to the computer and all I find is cylinder 1 contribution code.
I know that ive been running on borrowed time on my inj seeing im sitting at 120000 miles, but what Im wondering is the heating problem and the bad injector related or just a coincidence that they came about around the same time??
Sorry for the novel but thats about as short as I could make it....
