i feel dumb, i switch number 7 injector to the number one which is not misfiring, put it all together and started the car, still flashing check engine, scanned it and only code says p0300 random misfire detected.

did live data and turns out number one is now misfiring and number 7 is no longer misfiring o_O
Why the hell do you feel dumb? If not every single member of this forum, I'd bet a huge majority learned from something like this. And I would posit none of them is dumb. Think of it this way: How do you know what you don't know? You learn it from people who do know. And you are blessed with a forum where people actually care about the members knowing.

If these are OEM injectors, this is a hell of a deal...

Can someone take a look and verify?


The price tells it all. No way they're Genuine GM @ $10 each.

This past weekend I saved a 2003 Cadillac Escalade from being scrapped.


It did cost me a lot because I bought it from the scrap guy. He was going to part it out.

But I had to save it because it's one of the cleanest Escalade I have seen. And 0 rust,

The guy just told me that the engine had a skip. After checking it out for a couple of days, I managed to pull a code p0300 which is random misfire

Which is about 5 cylinders that have misfire when its running.

Today I checked fuel pressure and it's at 49-50 psi with the engine running, is that normal or does it need to be higher
Good on you for saving that truck!!! Thanks for giving it a few more years of life. Now enjoy it and have a good time on road trips!!!
