95 sidekick

twofireengines · 01-17-2009, 12:18 PM

Hello, I'm new and trying to get this site figured out. I have a 95 sidekick, the #1 cylinder seems to be flooding the engine. I don't know if it is the ecu or injector? Any ideas on how to check? thanks

Try swapping the injector with one from another cylinder and see if the fault moves with it.

considier, NOID lamping it before you wreck that Catcon (gas and air will make it glow cherry red)
if the NIOD, is blank, then the transistor ,,Qd
http://carfix.stufftoread.com/ECU/ECU-16v-92w.JPG
check coil resistance (about 12 ohms)
listen for click (compare) with mech. stethoscope. a $3 tool at Harbor Freight.

i may have a typo on my pn , 2SD1415 , see side of transistor for D1415 mark.
it is easy to replace,
just make sure back of replacement is not metal !!!

We changed ecu, didn't help...new fuel injector, didn't help....my hubby traced wires to find out which one went from ecu to injector...found right one...tried new wire..back to normal...now we just have to change oil and filters again to make sure no gas is still in oil. Wow what a mind blower! This was drive n us nuts. lol
