Injectors?
Other than getting schwacked at the dealer for a good 70 bucks is there any way to tell which injector is failing?

70 bucks to see which injector is failing...that's not too bad. How many have you gone through after 230k?? Or is that kilometers?

I agree, that isn't bad. The only way to tell if an injector is failing if you have a contribution dtc failure for a particular injector, but other then that I don't know of in other way that would be easy.

Oh yea, that should be able to pull codes that are a little bit out of the realm of what tuners could pull.

I know I'm showing my lack of mechanical knowledge asking, but how would a auto enguinity pickup a failed injector? I guess a better question first is what is an auto enguinity?

Diagnostic software for your laptop that is able to read OBD-II parameters. It goes beyond what your able to do with just reading DTCs with tuners. It does datalogging(which xCall II and III does, but it's approach is a little clumsy, but I did do it a few times to tweak my tunes) in order to monitor various parameters in order to find problems(or tweak programming). It can also pull codes that you wouldn't be able to pull with tuners.

may be a tranny issue if it only occurs past 2nd gear....do you notice if the tow haul light is blinking?

I think it is one of the best scan tools out there.
