Default DPFI - Code 16 (Hard Start)

I'm getting code 16, along with a hard start issue. I know 16, calls for injector issue.

We the car finally does start, it runs fine. This leads me to believe its not the injectors. Most of the research i've found on this usually accompanies bogging hesitating or even stalling.

I just re-soldered my main relay this weekend, which didn't even look bad. Can these things go bad on the inside, but still have good looking connections?

TIA

Reset the ECU this last night. Wanted to see if the code would come back. Never did, but still the same hard start problem. I also replaced the Main Relay, to no avail.

Any help out there?

Could be the cold start injection messing you up. Right after it won't start when it's cold pull a plug and report back.

So crank, crank, crank.. Pull plug, and smell?

Cold start injector? Where is that located?

I had a cel code 16 recently too. My problem was a weak connection to the ecu. So make sure all the wires are connected properly. Another thing you should check is the ohms of the injectors and make sure their in spec.

Both Injectors ohm'd out. Also, both had voltage for 2 seconds during prime.
