New fuel injector problems


Recommended Posts

So I just replaced my fuel injectors with some Bosch 4 port ones (mine still had all the stock one port ones) and I started it up and it immediately stalled out. I got it running and it ran like s*** for about 10 minutes then seemed to fix itself. I took it for a ride right down the street and it stalled out twice, both times at a stop sign. Did I mess something up or will it eventually fix itself?

I read something on an XJ forum that says if you reset the ECU it will be in "learning mode" for the next 50 warm up cycles, does that mean it will eventually correct itself or do I get to start diagnosing?

If you haven't disconnected your battery to reset your ECU yet, it's free and worth a try. I didn't have any issues when I changed the injectors on my '00 XJ or my '91 MJ. However, on the XJ I had the battery unplugged for a week doing the head gasket, and the MJ had it unplugged for 3 months while I swapped in a new engine and transmission! 

 

Make sure there's no leaks at the injectors while it's running, and make sure all the plugs are the correct way and firmly plugged into the injectors. Sounds simple, but I know I'm guilty of overlooking the easy solutions sometimes.

Thank you for the replies! I checked all the injectors and was about to pull them back out and swap them but it turns out i busted the line on my MAP sensor and as soon as i replaced it i had zero issues.
