Consumer Description

DURING A HEAVY TRAFFIC ON HWY THE ENGINE DIED CASING ME TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE NOT BEING ABLE TO MERGE RIGHT OR LEFT. AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS OF INVESTIGATION, I FOUND OUT THAT THE ELECTRICAL HARNESS THAT POWERS THE INJECTORS WAS NOT WELL INSULATED CAUSING THE WIRES TO MELT. THE ECU DIDN'T RECORD ANY CODES WHICH LED ME TO START THE REPAIR BY ELIMINATION. THE ECU WAS REPLACED AND PROGRAMMED BECAUSE NO CODES WERE REGISTERED. THE COIL PACK WAS REPLACED BECAUSE OF THE RANDOM FIRING LOSS. THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED BECAUSE THE NEW SPARK PLUGS WERE COMPLETELY DRY, AND FINALLY AFTER REPLACING ALL SENSORS, THE HARNESS WAS CHECKED FOR CORROSION THAT WHERE I FOUND THIS SECTION OF THE HARNESS MELTED.
