    Could you do me a favor? Go ahead and disassemble the fuel rail. I need a write up as detailed as yours because I *think* I need to replace my injectors...womp womp.

    The FSM should have the info you need to get at them. Just pull the intake manifold off and you should be good to go.
    Having said that I had contiplated removing the intake manifold to be able to clean the whole thing. If I do I'll document it.
    Why do you think you need new injectors?

    I priced up having my AC recharged and thought it was a bit much.
    After watching an "Eric the Car Guy" video I decided that I could handle recharging it properly myself.
    I picked up a manifold gauge set on kijiji. Turned out they are the same brand as the pros use.
    I went to a refrigeration distributor and picked up a 30lb tank of R134 refrigerant (that should refill 25 or more empty systems) and an R12 to R134 adaptor for the low side of the system and ordered one for the high side. I have yet to find some ac compressor oil and some dye in case there is a leak.
    I invested in these items with the intention of doing dother peoples vehicles and re-couping my money and then some.
    I've got to get and adaptor for my vacuum pump to my R12 manifold gauge.
    Stay tuned for that.
    Today I'm re-organizing the shop to add some motivation to working in it and to be more productive. I picked up a bunch of shelving and hardware and will be making room to set it up and then, let the tidying and organizing begin!

    Oh, the muffler I ordered arrived today. It's the same one I put on my 4Runner. Good bang for buck. Thanks Rock Auto!

    Note:
    There is a yellow hose for the manifold gauge set, I just have it off to find and adaptor for it.

    I need to do my A/C system, compressor crapped itself, need to replace every piece. Want to fly down to Arizona and recharge my system when I'm done?

    Cylinder 4 misfire.

    Changed the plug, still occurring.
    changed the coil, still occurring.
    Next in line is the injector.

    Yikes. did you go through the steps in the FSM for Testing the Coil and High Tension Cord (plug wire) with a multimeter?
    I would think it is unusual for an injector to go bad under normal use.

    No, I am just throwing money at it...lol.

    There isn't a plug wire. I just replaced the coil. I suppose it could be a burned coil harness?

    You sure? I believe cyl 1,3,5 have coils and 2,4,6 have wires.
    5 6
    3 4
    1 2

    Unless you have a 4 Cyl?

    I should probably take it to the dealership and have them run diagnostics.

    We know quality work when we see it. ;)

    Well, why not, since you're throwing money at it....

    $97 for diagnostic, and the service manager told me he would tell me what is wrong, or not charge me..

    Well, new injectors are about 60-75 a piece....not from the dealer. The dealer wants 163 per. So, at $240 best case scenario, for injectors, $97 may be worth it.
