problem #1

Taurus 3.0L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 182,000 miles

I had the transmission changed and when it was in and going we tryed to start the car but the car was getting to much fuel and it would flood every time. I brought it in to get looked at and they told me that the injectors were open to 124 and its only suppose to be max 3 and when idiols it should only be 1.45 or something. Not sure with the numbers but the mechanic told me that the computer or something was making the injectors stay open way to far which was making the car not to start. he either said it could be the computer is telling the injectors to stay open or the wireing harness needs to be changed due to cut wires when the transmission got put in. Is there any other reason for the injectors to be staying open or should i let them put in a new computer n wire harness or could it be something simple?
