Fuel injector problem... Open circuit
I have an 07 is250. My check engine and VSC lights came on. I went and got the engines codes checked and it turn out I have an open fuel injector circuit at cylinder 6?
Has anyone ever experienced this problem? Or has anyone done a DIY fuel injector replacement? I suspect this could also be an issue with the ECU as well.

Are you getting horrible fuel mileage and experiencing bogging or odd performance when driving the car? Yes, you could DIY remove and replace the direct injector. But first, be certain it is a bad injector before going through the process. Exactly what code did you pull?

P0206 - injector circuit/open - cylinder 6
P0306 - cylinder 6 misfire detected
P0102 - mass or volume air flow "A" circuit low
P0113 - intake air temperature sensor 1 circuit high (bank 1)
First, try getting some CRC Mass Airflow sensor cleaner and try cleaning yours up to see if it helps at all. Alot cheaper to start there than jumping directly to the injector.

Gville350 the CRC MAS cleaner was first thing tried. I was praying that would work but nothing. A mechanic I spoke to also told me that injectors don't normally fail on these cars. That's another reason why I was thinking the cleaner might have worked.
If there is a cheaper and less time consuming fix. That would definitely be the route I would want to take.

Yeah getting to the injector is a very complex and time consuming job... I feel that if I go that, removing all parts required just reach the injector I may as well replace it rather than go thru the process 2 times or more

On another note and this is probably a silly question but you never know, have you checked your air cleaner to make sure its not all dirty and not supplying air?
