If you're experiencing issues, the problem is likely one of the following and requires a different solution:
* Engine misfire: This could be due to many things, not just the injectors. Bad spark plugs, wires, a failing coil pack, low compression, or a vacuum leak are all possibilities. A diagnostic scan tool (OBDII code reader) is the best way to start. The codes will pinpoint the likely culprit.
* Poor fuel delivery: This could be due to a clogged fuel filter, a bad fuel pump, or a problem within the fuel system pressure regulator. Again, a diagnostic scan might reveal issues, and a mechanic could check fuel pressure.
* Faulty injector(s): This is less common than other causes of misfires. Faulty injectors usually require testing by a mechanic or replacement. You cannot simply "reset" a failing injector.
What you should do instead of looking for a "reset":
1. OBDII Scan: Get your vehicle scanned for diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). Auto parts stores often offer this service for free. The codes will provide valuable information about the problem.
2. Check basic maintenance: Ensure your fuel filter is clean and recently replaced (as per manufacturer's recommendations). Also, consider the age of your spark plugs and wires. Replacing these common wear items is relatively inexpensive and can solve a surprising number of engine problems.
3. Check fuel pressure (with a gauge): This requires some mechanical knowledge and a fuel pressure gauge. A mechanic can perform this test accurately. Low fuel pressure indicates problems with the fuel pump, filter, or regulator.
4. Professional Diagnosis: If you're not comfortable performing these checks yourself, take your Silverado to a qualified mechanic. They have the tools and expertise to diagnose the problem correctly and recommend the appropriate repair.
In short, there's no fuel injector reset. Focus on diagnosing the underlying problem causing the symptoms you're experiencing.
