Any more details to offer? What you've given so far is way too skimpy.

With what code? This is not trivial, you know.

Is this a V6 or an L4? I'm guessing a 4.

Do not buy new injectors. They cost close to $300 each for OEM. Keihin
injectors do NOT go bad.

Only if you push them back into the rail and visually see if they leak.

Lay a towel down on the manifold. Place the rail on the towel with the
injectors installed into the rail (tie them well in place so they don't pop
out! 40psi fuel pressure! BIG mess!). Turn the key to "II" for two seconds,
then turn it to "0". Do this several times in succession. Any gas-smelling
dark spots on the towel that appear to come from the pintle area?
