How much did you pay the shop to tell you your IDM "may" be going out? Sounds like you need to invest in Auto E and do a lot of this troubleshooting yourself and get more definitive answers. I would not price injectors right now, you don't even know if you need them. It is free to pull the valve covers and look for loose connections/burnt pins on the UVCH. Wait and see what the new CPS does for you.

I'm pretty sure it has to do with something on the plug that goes across the driver side valve cover. What pins should I be checking? I sprayed hill-lube in the plug and my lights came on. Cleaned it out and no lights came on.
