definitly figure out what is wrong before your replace all the injectors. i was planning on replacing all of mine, turns out the problems was in the fuel line. just make sure you know before your drop 2grand on injectors..

I replaced all the injectors and water pump and I didn't have to remove the starter
Now my head gasket will probably go bad I hope not if that happens I am going to pull my motor
