Yeah, I was doing my click tests outdoors, and even there it was pretty easy to hear a click.

Well, it's always good to pinpoint the source of the problem. Injectors are just an annoying thing to deal with since they can be flaky.

If they're functional you'll hear them; you can feel it too. Once you know what injectors really sound like you can quite easily hear them even when the engine is idling!

Good news is you found the culprit. Bad news is you're waiting again. Sorry.

It's Alive!!!

Sure enough, it was the secondaries. Per he directions of WitchHunter, I basically played the drums on the car last night with one hand tapping on top of the injector with a wrench and the other hand tapping a power wire to the battery. About a minute of the drum solo per injector and they start clicking. Put it all back together, check for codes (none present) fire it up and let it warm up. Take it out for a spin and have the biggest grin on my face in months as soon as I get about 30 fet from the driveway. Absolutely great!!! Thanks everybody for the help! You've all been just awesome. Thanks again!!

resurrecting this thread.... I have this same problem... got my injectors cleaned at witchhunters and now the car falls flat on boost.

Just wondering though, why would cleaning injectors cause them to stick?

I beleive it's the fact that they sit dry/empty for a period of time.

I've also heard that it might be from leaving them in the ultrasonic cleaner for too long.

I'm glad to see that my problem and solution is helping others out. Awesome!

Thank goodness I found this thread. I'm having the exact same problem now!!!! I had my injectors cleaned/flow tested at Witchhunter too and am experiencing the same symptoms. I'm not quite following your drum solo routine. Could you explain it again?

You tap on the injector. Then do the click test. Repeat until it passes the click test.
