Jason, user name HOT COCOA or something like that. He's hard to get a hold of. Stays busy and stuff.
If coco is considered the best LB7 guy we have or know, then this site has officially died and I quit this hobby.
What's your questions? I'd be glad to help if I can. I'm not a rocket surgeon by any means but I do work on these for a living.
They can explain better what they have done and what is exactly been tested and what has been done. Can I get your phone number and I'd like to set up a 3 way conversation with the shop mechanic or manager here. Have replaced the 4 injectors and it's still falling flat at the 2000rpm mark. They are at a loss now.
the mechanic is wanting to replace the other 4 injectors now.

Hopefully clrussell gets in touch with you, he knows his stuff. Maybe he can walk the shop through the diagnosis. I'm not half bad in person with a Tech2 or FlashScan V2 in my hand, but I'm useless over the phone.
Latest update is they reflashed the ecm. I've been driving around for almost an hour and zero issues.
I hope they don't charge you for the injectors and work if all it needed was a new turbo and ecm reflash.
I paid for 2 injectors they paid for 2 and install on the 4. I was happy with that as looking good at them they where on their way out sooner than later. Don't know where the ecm went wrong but glad it's sorted. One of those small things that's overlooked.
Thanks for all the support and ideas guys. Very appreciated. Plan on learning much more thanks to this forum.
Glad to hear they found it. Not a common problem, but have heard of similar ecu quarks in the past.

Some of the very best are here on this site... And know one here was wishing any ill feelings on you. Super glad they got it figured out. The LB7 has some issues but I consider it to be one of the very best series of this power plant.

Yes from what I've heard and read I'm glad I got an LB7 and I now know what kind of quality I have under the hood. I have a much better understanding of the engine with the crash course I took over the last few days. I'd rather start with a quality product than Patch here and there.
