ECU errors 15, 16, 22

I am assuming the 15 and 16 (fuel injectors 2 and 3 inoperative ) are causing the 22 (knock sensor).
Does anyone think Sea Foam might solve the issue? I have never used it.
Thanks,

before trying to use that seafoam, make sure the injectors are connected correctly. Maybe pull off the connector and clean it up a bit. That would be the first thing that i do.

After verifying the connectors, clear the codes and see if they don't clear, or if they come back right away.

I have code 17 and 22, as well as many others the last time I pulled my codes. I wonder if I try this if it will help fix some of my problems...

I pulled one of the connecter off of one of the injectors and the little notch that holds it in place broke off, and I was very careful when I was pulling it off. Is there a way to fix this, and am I ok. I was thinking that I can maybe slip an O-ring in there and use this to keep it tight. I am also waiting a while before I pull the other connectors off.

For some reason both of my passenger side injectors are like that -- the little tab that clips onto the harness connector is missing. They seem to hold in place decently anyway; I've put nearly 20,000 miles on the car since without troubles.
It might help to use a hair dryer or even a heat gun to make sure the plastic is warm before trying to remove the other connectors, to get maximum pliability.

I might try doing it when it's a little warmer too, and I will try the heat gun as well. I will just keep my eye on the connector and make sure it doesn't come loose...

the plastic just gets brittle. Mine did this on one of the older ones. Ran it for a long time....no prob.
