Legacy stuck open fuel injector

[Rothman]

I’m having intermittent issues with my 2.2 1997 legacy. The #2 fuel injector frequently sticks open, flooding the cylinder with gas.

Prior to that, a spark thread got stripped out causing us to pull the head. It ran fine for about 100mi then started running like crap.

We replaced the original stuck injector but the new one is doing the same thing.
Any thoughts?

Connect a noid light to the injector harness and see if it is pulsing or staying lit. If lit you have a electrical issue with the hiring harness.

Thanks for the thoughts. Where do I get a noid light?

Most parts stores sell them. Just ask for a noid light/fuel injector tester

Thank you I will check that out.

Thank you I will check that out.

I figured it out!! When my son reinstalled the head, he improperly routed the fuel injector wiring harness on the wrong side of the 10mm egr tube. The egr tube melted through the harness grounding out the #2 injector wires. Thanks to this forum to help me vent and think through this problem!!

Awesome! Glad you figured it out.
