more F**king trouble!

my car started shaking really bad at idle last night. And it also runs really rough and slow , like not all the cylinders are firing. THought it was the spark plugs, but I replaced those today and it still runs like ass. I didnt replace the plugwires because I only had $13 dollars on me. COuld they be causing the problem? What else?

Re: more F**king trouble!

If you run the car at night (in the dark) and open the hood, and see sparks actually between the wires, (wire-to-wire), they need to be replaced. You could be losing compression in a cylinder, but that seems kinda far-fetched.

Could have a bad sensor

Wow Im a dumbass. It was my fuel injector. I should have known that when only one of my plugs was fouled. No huge deal. But check this out. I went to autozone to order a fuel injector and they want $260 for ONE INJECTOR!!!! How bullshit is that when i can get a set of Denso 550cc injectors for like 450. But then id have to get fuel controller and im broke right now, but does anyone know where i can get a stock injector for cheaper than 260?

injector

i have about seven 450's laying around if you need one.are you sure its not the plug itself?i have a problem with the #4 cylinder injector plug that has a shitty connection sometimes and you have to wiggle it to work again.$20.00 per 450 injector i have pay-pal and a good ebay account if you want one.

nah its the injector. I went to autozone and they did their computer thingy. So the 450s you are talking about are the stock size? i dont know much about injectors.

There is no way a computer thingy can distinguish between a bad injector and bad wiring to that injector. The end result is the same. You would have to remove the injector and have it tested to differentiate between the two. A set of stock injectors can be had for 50-100 bucks, a set of good aftermarket injectors is around 300. I wouldnt pay 450 for 1600s even I got my 950s for 350, going rate is 370-390. Check out www.fuelinjectorclinic.com, if you are going to go larger than stock. I have had great experiences with thier injectors (650s, 850s, and 950s). 550s are on sale for 280
