If your engine partitions are cracked (should take about 2 minutes to check), then injector corrosion is likely the issue.

Hope that helps.

Injector 5 shorted, replace injector, code injector, remove and trash the foam over engine (that the only thing it's good for is collecting water), fix partition (the new center piece is now made of hard plastinc instead of some sort of cardboard).
