My friend and I are driving to Arizona from Illinois but his fuel injector is bad and everytime he comes to a complete stop his car shuts off but turns on just fine. We have been saving for 6months to go out there for spring break and we are definintly going for sure, but we were wondering if we could make it from just a bad fuel injector. If need be, how much would a fuel injector cost to fix? Does having a bad injector cause problems in the long run?

Oops sorry I accidentally said we were saving for 6 months it's more like 6 weeks. He has $220 and I have $300. We also have a gas card.

A quote for the fuel injectors wont cost anything, however to find out what is actually causing the problem will. Since it may not be the fuel injectors (I agree with the above post) they will need to spend some time with the vehicle to find out the problem...and that will cost money.
But still, I would recommend doing that. Get it out of the way before you have anymore problems that may ruin your trip. If you know it is the fuel injector than just call around for an estimate, no one else can really give you a price...especially since you didn't specify the vehicle! So any prices from people on here would be just random guesses, or from past experience, on a different vehicle.
Then you can have a fun trip with no worries, maybe a little less money though.

gasoline injectors can close down a vehicle, however the question is did you get conned. injector prognosis is to no longer complicated with the splendid kit. with him beginning at a music up (spark plugs) is a ok beginning element and might at times save you cash. if it hasn't been accomplished in a on an analogous time as then evaluate the plug alternative as maintenance. now if the mechanic became any good it would not have taken him a week to discover undesirable injectors, i prefer to advise you come across a mechanic this is extremely familiar with fiat. refer to the mechanic and not the provider adviser, it may fee a touch extra in keeping with hour of provider yet a mechanic this is conscious the straightforward destroy downs of a fiat can save you earnings the long-term. im a Chevy tech and when I see a s-10 blazer are available in the door without rear tail lights or wiper i understand to seek for the broken floor twine under the drivers ft under the carpet, if somebody else that wasn't good in Chevy regarded at it it may take him 5 hours to discover it and you'd be charged for it. attempt to discover a good fiat tech

a bad injector will cause that cylinder to run lean thus blowing the engine by putting a hole in the piston.
Then you will be permanent residents here in AZ
