also i got engine code p0205 and p0305


injector problem and misfire cylider number 5, i am guessing both codes are caused buy a fauly injector i cheaked the volt at the injectors and they were all the same so i think the injector itself is bad. what can i do to make sure its the injector and not something else and wheres a good place to get another one. or good web site to get 8 new ones some perfomance ones or somthing i plain to keep that car and build it up.


thanks for you help

How many mile are on you sc?

[BoostedComp]

get the coupler from the second link... buck 3800 v6 and as far as injectors go... it definitely sounds like thats thats the issue... but just make sure you get 6 (unless you said 8 to have extra?) flowmatched injectors, but i would get the stock replacements unless you have the ability to tune for different flowing injectors. if so, cobra injectors work great and can be found cheap.

[monsterjam5000]

178,xxx i dont have any way to tune so where can i get factory injectors?


what all do you recommend i do to the supercharger to get it in a1 condition?

what mods should i do first

[blueguy]

How about searching and reading the Safely Modding Your 3800 Thread.

i cant believe people still rely on that POS light show of a gauge.

[monsterjam5000]

also cant find anything on trans fluid what do you recommend? i was thinking mobile on full sythetic, is it ok to do a trans pan gasket and filter, with new full sythetic, is it ok to mix full sythetic and regular fluid.

[monsterjam5000]

[badbrad]

It's a sh**ty as a boost gauge but great @ showing knock & vacuum leaks

how so does it show knock and vacumm leaks

[blueguy]

Reading is your friend...there are MANY threads about your issues. Use the search button...thats what it is there for. Check all the black rubber "T" fittings around the blower and the TB and follow it back to the EVAP...I'd bet thats where it is

[monsterjam5000]

thanks but how the boost gage help show you knock and vacuum leaks cant find a thread on this

[SDGTP99]

It's simple. If the boost bars flicker back and forth between say one or two bars that's a sign of knock. If the boost bars stay lit up or don't light up at all thats a vacuum leak. See, its still a useful gauge

[monsterjam5000]

when i get on it my boost gage goes about half way up and strats to blink all the time what can i do to fix this?

[blueguy]

Get a real gauge...quit going by how many LEGO's your boosting
