Are they wired up correctly? I wouldn't crank it if they're stuck open. If enough fuel is pumped in there it could hydrolock your engine...

Yeah, i'm not to sure what exactly happened. I was slowing down as i was getting off of the highway when my car just kind of bogged down and shut off. Any suggestions of to what may have caused this? As far as things being wired up correctly, i have had the swap in since August with no problems. This was kind of out of the blue.

More than likely you should send them out to have them checked and cleaned, you can try rceng.com or cruzinperformance.com they both do injector cleaning.

It's either improper wiring or the injector is stuck... If you've been driving it sense August with NO problems then that isn't the case unless something shorted... Continuity test your injector grounds (the wires that run to your ECU, brown, red, blue, yellow) over the chassis... If you have continuity then something is wrong... Most likely a short... Are you running high fuel pressure?? This can sometimes cause them to stick... Good Luck and let me know if you find anything else...

I will do a fuel pressure and continuity test today and let you know what I come up with. Thanks for the suggestions.

Ok, so i got a fuel pressure gauge and checked my fuel pressure. It has been all over the place, starting off at 60 psi, dropping to 28, then to 0 for a while, and then up to 100psi!!! I know it is not the regulator because i pressure tested that, and it held. Still have to check for a short in the injector wires.

That is with the motor running. The problem is, it barely runs (idling at 500rpm's), and if you give it gas, it stalls out.
