P0202 cylinder 2

Thanks for the advice and help. Sorry to say that I'm taking the easy and expensive way out. I need my car back and my schedule at work this week is crazy. My trusted mechanic said that the job will max out at $300. I called the local ford dealer and he quoted over $600

Fuel injector @ $150

3.5 hrs labor @ $130/hr

New plenum gaskets @ $90

and I'm sure a host of other charges like the inevitable tax and disposal fees.

If I did it myself it would cost me $60 for the injector and about 20 for the gaskets so for another $220 I have the luxury of not swearing at that damn plenum!

I'm almost 70 and the thought of leaning over and engine is not as appealing as it was when I was 30. ;)

One day and it's all done. $325 out of the door and don't have to keep driving my cousins filthy Altima. I shouldn't complain but I had to kick the empty coffee cups out of the drivers side door lol. He also has a full tank because it was on fumes when he dropped it off. I will thank him and buy him a couple of scotches when he picks it up. When they had the plenum off I had them switch the coil packs in the back to the front bank.

Reasonable and good planning.

It feels just like it did before the problem. Smooth idle, no check engine light. Oh yeah, I think it runs the 1/4 mile in about 8 seconds at about 150 and gets 42 MPG now. It could just be the turbo emblem on the back LOL

This hasn't been a banner year for the edge. Water pump and fuel injector, I'm at around $2000 in repairs this year. I still love the thing and at least I don't have any car payments.

My wife has a 2002 Grand Cherokee that looks new and has about 130,000 miles on it. It has the 4.0 liter engine and will go for another 130,000 without any major problems. I just do all the fluids every 50,000 miles. This is a car that is easy to maintain yourself. Nothing hidden and lots of room to work.
