i got the lb7 in my sig put back together with the built motor, I'm running into some issues. the truck will run but only on four injectors.

I'm getting P0201, P0206, P0207, P1261

i have already pulled the passenger side valve cover to inspect the injector harness and they seem good, i also swapped the wires over on each injector with no change in codes or how it runs.

the truck also has a AF cam from empire, not sure if that makes a difference with the injectors,

ANY help is greatly appreciated. :confused:

Have you double checked the harness where you swapped wires with the firing order change?

yes checked them all over very well. the truck was running last week with the harness the way it is now. the motor was pulled for a freeze plug issue then re installed today.

whats confusing me is its throwing 1,6,7. if it were throwing a bank wouldn't it be one whole side together?

at first it was throwing #4 also but it just went away on its own?

That's what I thought when mine coded out...only 3 cylinders showed up but I did find the break in the insulation exposing the wire.I chased it for a week pulling those damn covers.

Both times I had this problem it was a hard parts problem. First time it was a new engine and the lash nut never got torqued or something like that and it lost the Rocker bridge. The second time it busted a injector wire stud.

Since you have the covers off, now is a good time to use a digital multi-meter to verify the injector harness looks good. I know you said it ran fine on this harness before, but I would tripple-check the injector harnesses. Make sure there is no connection from any pin to ground, and the resistance at the plug is the same as directly across the injector terminals, and maybe have a friend wiggle everything around while you test to see if there is an intermittent short?

That's a good idea. You could try starting it with the valve covers off and see if it runs fine. Narrow down the possibilities. The injector harness might short when pinched by the valve cover where it goes through.

Well I pulled the driver side cover and hooked up everything and fired the truck with top cover off and all the codes were gone and it was definitely firing on all 8. I'm guessing one of the driver died harnesses are grounding out on the cover, I can't see any really bare spots on the wires but there are some small cuts where the plastic clams were.
