throwing a fuel system code ( 16 )

How do you go about troubleshooting this kind of code and what could go bad? Injectors, Resistor box? Anything else? TIA

Re: throwing a fuel system code (pokemon)

Code 16 is probably the Main Relay, however it could still mean a bad Injector, Resistor Box tho.
Most failures occur, when the weather starts heating-up for the summer...

If the car refuses to start, but "turns over" on a hot day, try opening the doors/windows, and let the interior cool down. "Then try starting again". May not work all the time, but worth a try anyway. Also, would help in troubleshooting the prob, if it does start. Another place to look is the ECT sensor, refer to the above
