I recently replaced the fuel injectors on my 1993 Dodge Dakota LE 4x4 V8 and it ran fine after the installation but a few days went by and it sputtered and stalled while driving it up a hill then on level ground. After that I couldn't get it to start I had it towed to my house and when I tried to start it, it ran for few seconds and died. It seems like having the back end tilted forward helps it to start but not for long. I can hear the fuel pump running ( its not too loud no signs of it breaking down.) I changed the fuel filter and there was plenty of gas in it... Could this be a clogged fuel line? I'll be testing the fuel pressure soon to see if it might be the fuel pump. I'm just at a loss because it didn't seem to have this issue before the install.

Thanks to everyone!

 

If it were me I'd put the old injectors back in to see if the problem clears up just to make sure the new ones weren't failing.

 

Exactly my thought. Also curious why the injectors were replaced.

 

Crap I didn't think of that! That would be most unfortunate these injectors weren't cheap and it was a bit of an upgrade from the old ones. -.-

 

why did you replace them? Are you throwing any codes?

 

The fuel injectors were replaced due to it running too lean. They seem to function but they were clogged up.

 

I think I would have opted to clean them before replacing them.

 

You might just find out you didn't reconnect a wire properly or fully insert an injector too.
