Afternoon all, a voice from the past re-surfaces Hope everyone is well.
MrsC's trusty 160k mile 20VT has started playing up, throwing an injector light intermittently and occasionally coughing and spluttering, esp when cold. I enlisted the services of Spock & Kirk, and they have reported back Injector 1 and Injector 5 Open Circuit. I have a few questions:
1. The Injector 1 message is in Red, and the Injector 5 message is in Amber. Accompanied by numerical codes which I'll check, I *think* they were 77 and 55? What's the difference between the two colours?
2. Does this suggest I need to replace those injectors, or is there another possible culprit? The car is currently running smoothly with no injector light on but it comes and goes so I imagine it will come back soon.
3. Where's best to get replacement injectors from? New or Used?
Looks like there is a guide to replacing the injectors which doesn't seem overly onerous?
Thanks in advance!
