Default cel 16: fuel injectors

I'm getting cel 16 which is fuel injectors. What do I check first? Symptoms are sometimes car doesn't start, but starts in a few minutes if I leave the car alone. Also, at idle, the revs go from 1100-1200. Thanks guys

Did you do a DPFI to MPFI swap in it or is the motor stock?

Your fuel injection main relay is probably going bad.
