I have a problem with my 700 not starting sometimes. It will turn over but not fire. I will change the plugs and it sometimes will start but not always. When I run the code i get injector codes. Any help in the right direction would be great..

Could this possibly be a battery problem? I am leaning towards that. Thinking there is not enough power to pop off

not the case if it turns over.


Check fuel pressure, they had some problems with early 2004 efi fuel pumps. Or do the diagnostics/code.

The codes it showed had to do with the injectors. I think it was 51. I talked to a local dealer and he said that the champion plugs are junk and i need to put in NGKs. I got some 7s but he said 6s or 5s. Thats all i got as of now. He also said that it could have to do with the battery.

When you turn the key on make sure you can hear the fuel pump pushing fuel for that breif second. I know when my battery was low it would not start make sure it is fully charge then give it a try. pull plugs if no start and make sure you got spark. some good starting points
hope this helps
