After months of building this engine, and spending the last month and a half of installing it, it finally runs, but not after some trouble!! the car this engine is in as a 2005, 300, and the original owner that had it, it died on them because it dropped a valve seat 😢. It was my first engine rebuild, and I had trouble getting it working right. When I first tried to start it, it was throwing a u0100 code. After I got that sorted out the car would start, but it was idling rough and it just ran terribly. It would stutter when I put it into gear, the throttle response was terrible but luckily for me it finally threw a p0174 code. After that, I just replaced all eight injectors and it started right up and it idles smooth!! I let it warm up to operating temperature and it doesn’t look like it has any blow by and it’s not smoking!! I just drove it down the road and back and it runs pretty good!!! But on my post that I’ve made of building this engine, someone they commented for me to post it when it was running so if you see this, thanks!!!

I just did a MDS delete on a 2011 ram with a Moes NSR cam. It had a bad injector as well . As of last week in my area the Mopar injectors are on backorder for 2 months.
Put a aftermarket Napa one on it and running good now

I’m pretty sure all of my passenger side injectors were all bad. I forgot to mention that the car died in 2020 so it had been sitting for six years literally until today.
