I have a 03 civic and it was spiting and sputtin . I toke it to the dealer ,they said it needed the injectors cleaned. I told them to do it. Now they say it needs an injector. should I replace them all ? or just replace the bad one and clean the rest of them.

Look at the cost factor of replace all, well worth in the long run, your choice if you want to replace only the bad one.

First I will look for codes, then check the vacuum with the gauge.

I got the car back this morning , after 30 mins of driving the engine light was back on . But the car doesn't misfire anymore. I noticed a difference . The car has had a misfire for a long time. I barely drove it before I brought it in . The dealer replaced an injector and the pcm . They put a used one of those. The total bill was 1206.00 .
