    Its Amazing how many different things can have the same symptoms. I've been struggling for years with a c12 MBL(bridge Motor) head pulled twice,overhead not holding, smoking skipping, poping out intake, replaced injector, today noticed that the lifter flap for #6 intake is barely moving. I can actually push on the intake rocker arm while engine is running. Looks like the cam lobe is worn slap off.

    update took valve covers off took a stethascope sorry can't spell ha and checked for noise it is coming from the new #6 injector so with nothing to lose i swapped cylinoids from #5 and 6 started again now noise is from #5 and still skipping seems like the skip is in sync with noise so what you think is the cylinoid my prob? can i just buy a cylinoid? thanks shawn

    You can't just change solenoids. The injector must be replaced. There can still be a problem with the injector mechanically and not kick put a fault code.
