5. Check fuel pressure and volume

7. Check compression, valve clearance, and valve timing (timing belt).
Status update. I am still in the process of going through all these tests to figure out the problem. I changed the plugs to DENSO K16TR11, they were bosch. I checked all hoses for cracks, bad fits or holes. Replaced as needed. I checked the injectors physically (not yet electronically). The injectors were physically damaged so they were replaced. When I did that, I replaced the intake manifold gaskets. The problem still occurs, and now is actually slowly getting worse and the light is coming on at 65mph. I will be checking the injectors for voltage, and resistance. Along with fuel pressure/volume, MAF meter, ECT sensor, and then the compression, clearance and timing in the near future.
