Alright, so Im throwing CEL 16, for fuel injectors, which is causing my car to be thrown into limp mode, making it impossible to tune / run pass 3,500 rpm. Im trying to figure out what could be causing the code. All four injectors are spraying (or else the car would be running like crap - it idles fine). The dsms are installed correctly with obd0 clips and a resistor box, the injectors have 7 ohms of resistors to each (tested using a multimeter) and the wiring has been double, tripple checked. Any ideas of what else it could be?

its either obd0 clips or your tune is bad.

well, im not sure it matters if the clips are obd0, ive heard as long as they fit ontop, its fine. Ppl use dsm clips all the time on hondas.

As far as the tune, Im pretty sure the amount of fuel wont throw a code...it has to be something physically or electronically wrong, not an amount.

If you run to rich it will throw a code, but not one for fuel injectors, I would think something electrically is wrong with the injectors, or at least your ECU thinks so

any other ideas?

It cant be something too major, becuase the car idles just fine. So the injectors are spraying, what are all the possible causes of CEL 16? Does the primary 02 affect it at all? I cant figure this out, Ive checked over EVERYTHING.

arent you supposed to have 10ohms of resistance to run dsm injectors?
