Default Injector Failures

Car started running rough and "Check Engine" light began flashing. Diagnosis was 3 bad fuel injectors. Is this a common failure?

TIA...

I have never heard of that happening to anyone. I wonder what would cause "3" of them to go bad at once?

No mention of anything like that from them.

Sorry to hear about your injector trouble. My friends Z06 on the way to the 2002 Corvettes at Carlisle did the same thing as what you have described. I checked each connection under the fuel rail covers and at each injector all were fine. I added in a 4 oz. bottle of Red Line S-1 Fuel Injector Cleaner and he drove off for about 5 miles. Guess what- no more check engine light, roughness or problems! I'm not saying this is a cure all but worth a try. What type fuel are you using and the mileage on your Z06- Do a fuel pressure test to see if the filter is partially clogged (bad fuel load(s)).

:( :( :( :(

This happend to me, #7 injector quit working and was getting a bad misfire. Then, I couldn't start the car anymore.

Diagnosis after the third trip to the dealership; cut/frayed injector wire. Seems it was resting on the enginer block.

This happend approx. 6 months ago, no problems so far...

:cheers:
