Here is the deal. 1990 240sx. Car is running fine. Take it to dealership to have some preventative maintenece and 100 point check and whatever else bs before i give it to my sister. Take it to have stereo installed. Come back, car wont start. sounds like it isnt getting gas. Finally, and i mean finally, it starts and blows hellacious black smoke, smells awful and even back fires several times. Sounds Horrible. Nissan says that the fuel injector harness shorted out and that i will need 3 injectors and a new harness. total cost incl. labor: $1600.00

I read the faqs on Fuel Injectors, so i know i can get a rebuilt ones for much cheaper.

What about the harness? another place says that you can get any that really fit. does that make sense?

Please help!

If this problem started after the stereo was installed than maybe they tapped into the ecm harness for the power or grd. to the stereo or ran a screw through the harness. It's happened before. This may have shorted out the injectors.
