are you running rich? try replacing the seals on your injectors, or just replacing your injectors altogether.

here's to test to see if its the injectors that's causing you problems.


start your car.

pop the hood up

pull out the spark plug wire for cylinder 1 (don't worry, it's insulated very well, it's practically impossible to get shocked)

if your engine has even more difficulty idling, put the wire back, and proceed to the next cylinder.

if your engine has no more difficulty than it currently has idling, you've found one or more cylinders that are causing your engine problems.

most likely here you'll have a problem with; 1)ignition, 2)fuel delivery in too much or too little.

this test is called a "power balance" test. go try it and tell us if you're successful in finding out what's wrong!

don't come back until you've tried it because this test only takes 2 minutes!
