fuel injectors

Recently got a code 51 from my ECU diagnostics,
So there is an injector circuit problem(BAD CONNECTION OR BAD INJECTOR ALL TOGETHER)

I heard to clean the connectors, then test the ohms from each injector.

But my problem is I cant get them out.
I got the first one out using tweezers to get the metal clip off, But I cant get the tighter fitting ones off. Do I need a special tool, or is there a good way to do this.

Anyone with experience in this could you please let me know how?

I don't know myself, but check out the tech sections at www.ttzd.com and www.twinturbo.net You should also do a search at twinturbo.net, years of questions answered at that forum.

Ive checked for the clicking noise using a screw driver, and each injector clicked at the same rate, but one was significantly quieter.

Does this mean that one is a bad injector, or do I still need to test the ohms with the tester (if so...what do I connect the possitive and negative to?)

yeah that's what that means...that injector is bad. If think you can remember where all the nuts and bolts, hoses and connections go you can try and tackle the job yourself. Don't be fooled its alot of work to remove the upper intake plenum. Try and get estimates from severla places. Technically, it's a pretty straightforward job though.

called a couple places, estimates around $400,
but do you know which number injector the second one on the left side is? facing the front of the car.
They all ask for that, seeming to make a difference in price.
And if its 400 bucks for one injector replaced, would it be smarter to replace all of them at the same time, or would that get very expensive.

Ahah, found a guy who can put in a remanufactured injector in for 150 including labor!
normally id think it was too good to be true, but with a year warranty I cant think of any reason not too.

yeah replacing all at the same time would make sense.
Well, that sounds like a deal. I'd just watch out for any possible hidden costs that might magically appear.
