Fuel injector pulse driver
I am having a problem where #3 cylinder runs rich, and dry fouls the plug
Is is possible for the pcm injector driver for one cylinder be bad?
I found that my #3 plug was sooty black when I was changing plugs.
SO far I have
swapped coils
swapped injectors
changed wires
I believe it is gas related due to this:
I left the injector in the cylinder, but took the wire harness off of it, and put a new spark plug in, and started the car.
I drove the car, and when I checked the plug again it was completely clean.
This ruled out an oil issue, or ring problem
Back to the fuel pulses.
How can I check to see if the injector is pulsing properly?
I called my tuner and explained the situation, and he said that he can not control individual injectors, just banks of injectors.
I read online that I may have a PCM problem, could that be?
Could the fuel injector driver be bad?
Is the driver replaceable?
Where is it located?
Does it sound like I have a bad PCM?
I waited to post unitl I really have exhausted all other avenues of knowledge.
Any help would be great!
Other things done to try to solve problem:
I added a catch can and breather
Pulled the intake to see if it was cracked
Checked pushrods and springs
Replaced the valve stem seals
