Hello again...The vehicle doesn't seem to be running particularly
rough... .....how much money might we be talking with respect to a
failty injector (or wire???)...ballpark of course.\dodger

Take it to a shop that has the shop manuals with wiring diagrams. You will
probably pay an hr to check it out and that should be a very easy test to do
in order to find the problem. Since you know the problem is with the #5
injector all you do is check for 12 volts coming from the ASD and a ground
going to the PCM.If the vehicle still falls within the 7/70 federal emission
the labor and PCM would be free to you. (assuming the dealer did the repair)
