My daughter's car, she called and said it sounded like it was missing. I went out to check it out and hooked up code reader. I got codes P0201 Injector Circuit / Open, Cylinder 1 and also P0301 Cylinder 1 Misfire Detected. Car definitely sounded like it was missing. After it sat and ran for a while then it cleared up, the miss went away. We went to the local auto parts to buy injectors, but they did not have in stock at store, so we had to order. The car seemed to drive perfectly with no missing. She drove car a couple more days till she could get the car to my garage and switch vehicles. The miss seemed to come and go. We received the injectors and I also got new spark plugs since they seemed to be original Ford Spark Plugs. The care has around 122,000 miles on it.
After installing all new injectors and new spark plugs, now the car will not run. Well, it will start up but seems to be missing and you can not step on the gas. It will only run about 15-20 seconds and shut off.
I had read injectors were a common thing and thought for sure we were on the right track. After replacing all the injectors, I ohmed the old ones. I read good injectors should be between 11-18 ohms. I ohmed 12.4,13.6,12.3, and 19.8 . Although 19.8 isn't very far out of spec that at least kept me thinking that one could have had the issue. All new injector (that are in the car now) ohmed at 12.2 ohms. I was thinking (wishful thinking) maybe the injectors I received were not right? Now, I went back and re-installed the old spark plugs to see if it could have been an issue with them. I still have the same result, care will sound like it is idling for about 15-20 seconds then shut off.
If anyone has seen this type of issue or would have any idea what might be causing it, any help would be GREAT!
