Help, car running like crap! Still getting the P0200 code (injector circuit), the car was misfireing like a ****, so i took the tune out, put it to stock, i'm still getting the code and its still running like crap...I've gone through a tank of gas in the last 130 miles, thats a freaking 130 miles out of a tank...What could this be...I'm also seeing a little of white/blueish kind of smoke (more white) while the car is idleing as well as the rich gas smell, a lot of it, like raw gas....All help is appreciated..
Btw mods are in sig, the cam has been in for a while with no probs, this bull started a couple of days ago...

Re: Help, car running like crap! First, double check all of your connections including the ones to the PCM.
If you have a way to do so, you might want to try checking the injector circuit voltage when the car is on with the engine off and with the engine running.
When the engine is running, you should definitely see your test lamp blink. If it doesn't blink, you have a short on the voltage side. With the engine off and car on, the test lamp should stay lit. If it doesn't, you have a short on the ground side. I hate chasing wiring gremlins.
