Fuel injector coding

So after cylinder 3 injector failure I have decided at the advice of many to replace all 8 injectors. Will be having this done by my Indy but unfortunately he doesn't have access to ISTA. someone told me I would be able to drive slowly with the new injectors without having them coded so I can bring car to dealer. Will driving without injectors coded harm the vehicle at all? Thanks for advice.

Hello,
There is no need to code the injectors in the F90. It will automatically will know the new injectors. It will run roughy for a min or two but everything will be great after 15 min of idling.

I did change one thing injector in my car

Yeah, I did mine too. You don't need any coding, just install them and you will be good. Just keep in mind as soon as you open the injectors install them right way, don't let them seat outside.

Curious Why you made another thread about your F10 in the F90 forum? Especially about the exact same thing. Cmon man.

Why?
The O-ring seal will expand within 10 minutes, then they will start leaking if you install them. To be safe just open them and install them right the way.
