P0300...man this sucks.
So this Friday on the way home my truck was running fine. I stopped at the store to get a 12 pack, got back in and started the truck up and noticed it was running rougher than usual, but didn't think too much of it.
Had to get up early Saturday for a code update class and the truck was running like ****.
First thing Sunday morning I got up and scanned for misfires which I ended up finding on 4 and 5. Both coils were firing so I put new plugs in 4 and 5...still misfires. I put a meter on the 4 and 5 injectors and much to my dismay, they both read open circuit...great.
Several questions here:
1) Has anyone else had two injectors fail simultaneously?
2) Its going to be about a week before I can get new injectors, and this is my DD. If the injectors aren't spraying at all can I manage to limp back and forth to work without risking damage to internals?
3) Can bad tuning fry fuel injectors?

Turns out my troubleshooting skillz need some work:
Lesson to be learned here (for me anyway) is to slow down and follow all troubleshooting steps before buying ****
Ah by the way, just because 2 cylinders are misfiring at idle doesn't mean both will misfire while logging on the street.

Now that REALLY sucks!! Wow im sorry man...hmmm. If you want to work in a refund im game. I dont like giving people the short end for a miss calculation. I mean if youre ok with keeping those injectors thats all the better but if you want to do another exchange let me know.
