it could need to be cleaned...or maybe a new one all together. i dunno. but i do know how to find the troublemaker
with the car on go one by one to check them. unplug one. car bog down? plug it back in. car bog down?
it is normal to bog down when you unplug it...it's not getting gas anymore. if it doesn't bog down when you unplug it OR it bogs down when you do plug it in (now it's expecting gas but the injector isn't delivering) then you have found the bad injector.
if you don't find a bad injector, you reset the ECU, and then you still get the code then you have a bad wire somewhere
