Indy has forbidden me from working on the car anymore. He chased injectors and plugs. Turned out there was nothing wrong with the injector we thought had failed. He swapped two newer in, then two that were already living there in to no effect on the miss. They all worked in other holes, so those were not the culprit in the end.
I mentioned collecting a set and having them cleaned. He got mad and told me to stop messing with the car. clay On Jan 25, 2013, at 5:18 AM, Jim Cathey wrote: >> If the problem is a fuel injector not working at all, no.
