    Hey guys,

    I have 1999 Freightliner Century 12.7 series 60. I keep getting loss of power and flash code 61 - “injector response time long”, BUT it returns to normal after 3-4 minutes and the code goes inactive.

    I have cleaned all grounds well, but issue keeps happening intermittently. Is it worth pulling/testing ECM, or do I just replace wiring harness and possibly the injector? Thank you in advance.

    I would always check wiring, but response time faults are usually the solenoid failing
