    Check your wiring.

    Unplug the connectors from the ECU and the relevant injector (you don't say which). Then check continuity between pin 2 on the affected injector and the corresponding pin in the ECU connector. You'll need to grab a wiring diagram for your engine.

    Possibly you have a broken wire.

    Note: you need to unplug all the injectors in the bank you're checking, the rigid conduit does not allow individual injector disconnection.

    In that case, check the switched 12V+ feed, which is common to all the injectors.

    What am I checking for? If the cruise is on and you go up a grade it like chugs for a second then clears and goes! It's very intermittent

    I will have my mechanic pull it and get it posted. I did get a check engine light from it!
