Check that first, then check the FICM.

What oil and filter you using? Could just be an injector crapping out. Any way to do a cylinder contribution test?

hahaha 100 horse marine injectors? WTF? Definitely cummins lingo for sure.

I would send them out to be gone over before putting them in. You might find you have 8 junky stock injectors in your hands. Have them flow tested to see what size they are.

What's the difference between the standard FRAM's like we buy in the orange containers vs. the toughguards? Or isn't there one? Are they one in the same?
