It turns out that I have a bad injector or injectors in my 94 J30. The check engine light came on immediately after starting the car last Friday night, and I was able to drive the car home, albeit, the engine was really rough.

It looks like others were able to drive their cars with this code. My car now won't run, it cranks but that's all. It feels like the timing is off. Anyone else have a similar problem?

I plan on checking the resistance of each of the injectors tomorrow to hopefully find the faulty one.

Also make sure the fuses for the injectors and the fuel pump are good if you haven't done so already.

I checked the fuses at both the driver's side kick panel and the main fuse box in the engine compartment. I only saw one fuse for the fuel pump and one fuse for fuel injection at the main fuse box in the engine compartment (both of them were still fine).

Is there another fuse I haven't checked yet? If so, where is it located?

My car didn't have the service manual so I am relying solely on information from this forum.
