“I had a 1993 Nissan ex cab p/u standard with A/C and power steering and I had a problem with the injectors staying on with the key off and would fill the engine full of gas. Needless to say it burnt up one day and the place where it burnt said for me to get it out of there before they towed it so it ended up in the scrap yard.”
