thats kinda who im waiting on to reply honestly lol.. i mean i am taking an engine rebuild class and we are working on heads this semester, so im sure i could bring my car in and tear it apart lol... but i think we are more working on the internals and not so much electrical ****

 

That's what I'm saying, you start getting some bad detonation, and eventually you're be replacing all kinds of internals... 1.8tqm ftw buddy... you KNOW you want to

 

If you got a multimeter, check resistance of the injectors.

Boshc Injectors should be 15-17 ohm
Siemens Injectors should be 13.5-14.5 ohms

 

well thats an awesome idea... if i had a multimeter or knew anyone that did i would jump on that lol

 

geez buddy sounds like the beginning of a lot of work. How much did you pay for this car again? and did it come with service records?

 

i paid 1500.. and it came with service records, timing belt, waterpump, oil pump and egr valve all done within the last 40k... other than that nothing else

 

Sears, Home Depot, Lowes, Harbor Freight, etc... You can get a cheap one for around $20 bucks. One of the most useful tools that you can get for working on your car.

 

The fuel injector fault codes could be caused by a bad ground or the harness is rubbing on the body somewhere shorting just those wires. However for either of these to happen you would most likely see LOTS more fault codes and not just fuel injector faults.
I would start with the most logical thing and check out the EGR valve pronto. Make sure the vacuum line going to it is fine, remove the valve and make sure the plunger isn't stuck or something.
Lastly, how the engine running? Does it feel rough? Hard to start at all?

 

no the engine runs fine, it accelerates pretty good.. but it is the 12v so i imagine its not gonna have that much pull anyways... although whenever i stop, after like 5 seconds the car almost dies for a half a second (goes from normal 700-800 rpm then drops to about 100) then it kicks back to normal and is good...... as far as starting the car.. sometimes the car starts right up, other times i have to hold it longer and sometimes it starts and dies right away and i have to turn the key again and it starts right up

but as far as the egr valve, can u show me a pic of where its located? like i said i have the 12v... and also can u show me any hoses or vaccuum lines i need to check and make sure they arent cracked or anything... thanks again

 

Dude.. that sucks.. haha i dont know how to help... but you have my frowny face
