Thank you! That is exactly the same issue, I just couldn't think of the right way to word it. I will have a look at the injectors this weekend as you and the above poster suggested it may be. I suppose if it is this big of a problem that one of those injector cleaner fluids you put in the gas tank will not do much, they likely need to be changed right? Hopefully that is not too hard to do. I suppose I will change the filter while I am at it too.

So after you changed your injectors I assume that the issue was fixed?

Thanks everyone.
