Does your V6 have a MAP sensor? If so will it run with the MAP sensor disconnected?

Mine was running rough, stalling and sometimes would not restart after starting it.
Replaced DFI all good now.

I just disconnected it and it still wouldn't start. I have check and it's getting the right voltage too.

It runs while your spraying areo start so I think it should be ok aswell as the coils and plugs.

I had an issue where my V8 had a flickering engine light for years dumped loads of cash in fixes......ran rich blocking cats.

Got a SH one and it wouldn't start.........even though injectors were pulsing. Turned out they were pulsing late.

Got a reconditioned one ......about $160 and presto.

If you go this route go RECO.

And don't forget to clean plug with electrical cleaner.

If suspicious of ECU plug connection push up with jewlers each wire in p,ug to ensure good connection.

Try same with sensor plugs.

Good luck.
