twodog Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I recently purchased a 92 Warrior that had been sitting and not started for several years. I drained old fuel and put in new fuel. Added a new battery, and it started right up. the problem is a dead miss on one of the cylinders. I haven't started pulling plug wires to find out which cylinder yet, bit I'm leaning toward a bad injector. It ran fine when it was parked. Any thoughts on this??

I’d change plugs and wires before injectors. Pull plugs one by one to find miss, then see if the missing cylinders plug is firing while out of the cylinder (leave plug wire on and ground side of plug to ground and look for spark, it will shock you if not careful.)

ednelson100 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I am over 200,000 miles on my motor and never had a problem with injectors but I did have to change spark plug wires when one went bad. I learned that even genuine Toyota wires don't last forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maineah Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 There are two methods shotgun or methodical both work eventually, one is a great deal cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
