Now it turns out that my spider injector is bad? im beyond furious, but what is the symptoms of this? and does anyone know what kind of cost this could be to me to be fixed? it runs exactly the same is it did before i lost a great deal of money doing this head gasket..thanks

normally with if you have rough idle poor gas mpgs and smell spider injectors need replace. if you go to your auto parts store parts be less than $500 i had my injectors replaced. my cost bout $750 at tire plus an if you re place injectors you need to replace nlyon hoses too. cost is an average of $800 unless you u buy the parts and have a friend o it cheap for ya

well the check engine light would come on every once in a while, but the truck was really just running like really terrible. it had a really rough idle, and had absolutely no power whatsoever. he said it was because there was water in the head. my dad kept telling me that there was no way the truck would run that poorly from having water in the head, but my friend fixed it anyway. A week and a half later ( yesterday) he calls me to tell me that it's still running like crap and its because of the spider injector... i'm pretty lost at this point. any suggestions maybe?
