I spent the weekend working on my wife's 07 W.P. Chrysler Signature Edition AWD
![21529]()
The car started running rough on Wednesday, 13 codes (mostly intake runner related) and #3 injector. Took off the upper intake
![21530]()
It was ugly, butterfly flaps were sticking, thoroughly cleaned intake, especially the shaft between the ports
![21531]()
Couldn't see the injectors so removed the assembly
![21532]()
Cleaned thoroughly, used my shotgun brush to clean the injector bores, greased the O rings before reinstalling
![21533]()
buttoning everything up Sunday afternoon, no more codes and ran fine
![21534]()
After driving to Walmart, which was running perfect, started car again, miss and codes were back (drag) #3 injector again, cleaned all of them which I thought solved the problem. bought a new injector, started working at 10pm, had new injector installed by 11PM
![21535]()
Had car buttoned up again by 11:45PM, no more codes, immediately noticed difference, test drive great, no more codes.

Hate duplicating labor, but whole thing took less than 2 hours, instead of days since I had experience and didn't have to clean, paint, go to parts store, or fully disassemble. I left everything on the intake, didn't disconnect the fuel line, or even injector plugs except for the one I replaced.
