It makes me wonder in this day of sensitive voltages and computers, just how many injectors, etc. have been unnecessarily replaced at great expense because of the lost skill of troubleshooting and time sensitive shop policies.
Except I would chalk up your discovery of the issue to dumb luck and desperation, not troubleshooting skill.
But it does boil down to a matter of dollars and sense. Would you rather the dealer spend 10 hours of time at $100 per hour fiddle-farting around troubleshooting, then replace the $750 part, or just replace the %$#@ $750 part in an hour or two because the computer said so?
$1750 is a whole lot more expensive than $950.
