Good evening,
I'm throwing the following codes:
p1617 (h bridge controller)
p0267 (injector low voltage)
p0303 (cyl 3 misfire)

I pulled the plug on 3 and found it to be gas fouled. Figured I try the cheap and easy stuff first, new plugs and wires...hard to start her, won't stay running. Wow, not sure how my wife drove her home like this...

So, does anyone have an idea what this p1617 "h bridge controller" means? I'm assuming something's gone wonky with the fuel injection. I figure I'll run a compression test in the morning for fun & chuckles.

Thanks in advance,
Matthew

 

Sounds like an injector. How many times has this fault occured? If you are mechanically inclined try swapping the injector. It is pretty easy to do.

Oh yeah, this assume that you have checked the connector, etc...

 

002,
Thanks for the reply. Yep, the connector seemed fine, no different on #3 than the others. So this morning I pulled the fuel rail...gonna scrounge around for injectors to put in there.
Thanks,
Matthew

 

I ran a compression test this morning, at least cylinder #3 shows up good in that test, so I think the problem was with the injector...but here are the numbers:

dry compression test 150-196-193-112
wet compression test 179-223-200-120

So 2 and 3 seem ok, 1 is off and 4 is having problems. Because there wasn't that much of a change from dry to wet I'm assuming the valves are the culprit in #4.

In any case, there were no driveability issues up to Friday's problems, so it looks like these things can run quite well with compression all over the place. So, once I get the injectors back, I'll see if she's driveable, then we'll look into the compression problems...
