So i noticed my car was choking a bit a few weeks ago, Check Engine light came on so i took it to Autozone to get it checked. Computer said cylinder 5 was misfiring, so they suggested replacing the plugs and wires.
like an idiot, i took them for their word, took it to a mechanic, and $315 dollars later I still have the same misfire.
I took the coil pack for cyl. 5 off and got it tested today, Autozone said it was fine, and gave me a list of other things it could possibly be. I'm pretty sure it's the fuel injectors, but my question is when replacing the injectors, can i just replace the one for cylinder 5 or do I have to replace them all?
I've gotten different responses from different shops/stores, and I just dont want to have to pay $700 for a shop to replace all of the injectors if i can only replace one for cheaper.
- Side Note: i took it to jiffy lube in November 05 to get the fuel system flushed, and the choking/misfire problem started in december/janurary 06. I thought it was only due to cold weather because it choked only on start up, but now it does it all the time. Can I blame Jiffy Lube? please? Would injector cleaner really help me at this point?
