passenger side injectors not working??? help please? well a week ago i made a thread about and po300 code on my car got some great response and all seemed like ignition at the time. I changed all of the ignition parts on the list i was given still throughing the same engine light. So today i went with a screw driver to give the injectors a listen and all of my passenger side injectors make no sound
and i beleive they are not fireing based on how the motor sounds thats the problem now. has anyone had that problem i ask cuz i am wondering if it the regulator, rail , or the the injectors them self or just a wireing issue. any information would be much appriciated thanks.

There would be no doubt that it wasn't firing on 1/2 the motor, if it wasn't. She'd barely be running. Did you try disconnecting all the injectors on that side, one by one, listening for change?

Try doing what was mention and disconnect one injector at a time. Idle should drop slightly with each injector unplugged.

What year is this car? The car could run on four cylinders, I've seen it.
Are you certain it's one side, not every other one? Do a check with a noid light.
You have two fuses for the injectors. The injectors get full voltage all the time and the PCM applies a ground as needed. This allows the PCM to "see" 12 volts through the injectors and let's it constantly check them.

Well if you have open headers, then it'd be easy to check! Put your hand down there on the side that's not 'firing'. If there's a substantial amount of heat (compare to the other side) then you know at least some cyl are firing. Otherwise that bank is essentially just an air pump and the air should only be warm from the whole engine and the compression of the air in the cyl. That header's collector should also be pretty wet with fuel. If you have a temperature gun, you could even measure the temp at the collector on each side and compare.

so if the pulse isnt supplyed by a working injector the pcm will set the po300. ill give it a check tomarow with the light and see if there is power supplied. the other thing you said is that there are two fuses for the injectors i only found one injector fuse in the engine compartment fuse block

In the fuse block under the hood is the injector fuse(s). After trying to look at a '97 owners manual downloaded from shoebox, I'm thinking there's only one fuse. If after testing with the noid light it's still no good, I'd re-plug the connectors at the PCM. You could probe each injector plug to confirm each one is getting full 12V.
