It did run ruff for like 2 mins about a month back then it stopped I just thought maybe bad gas. It might have been an injector. Does anyone know the ohms on it so I can check it. A btw a reman motor is 3500-3700 dollars a junkyard is 2000-2500 and I'm rebuilding mine for about 1500-1600 that's a total rebuild polish crank new bearings new rings, pistons, oil pump, water pump, power steering pump, bore job, line bore, acid dip, timing set and vacuum checking the valves.

On more meds than ymeski
Though poor maintenance is a major cause of engine failure. Things like oil changes, belts, cleaning injectors. If not done it can lead to issues eventually.

Calm down down y'all. Just drop it all and help each other. Haha.
I would bet less of an electrical problem more of junk in the injector causing to not be able to close. Ya if its getting constant power from a short then ya I could see it but I think the natural position of an injector is closed. Your more likely to get no power over constant. Unless it was the computer. That's what I would guess. I work on airplanes and 99.99% of the time is not getting power or failed over its getting too much.

12 Second Truck
Any pics of the cylinder wall and head? That may help a little. Right now I'm thinking injector. I doubnt the is ECM is at fault as it doesn't have the ability to lean just one cylinder on these trucks. It can lean or richen the bank but not one cylinder. It's a damn shame this happened. If you have the coin I say throw a set of cams in while she's down. $700 and some custom tuning with SCT and you will have something. Sale the Edge to recoop a few of those dollars.
