My car had been running rough and after a few shit-scary moments where when I was getting on the car, it lost most of it's power at like 5k RPM and then goes into safe mode. This has happened 5 or so times in the last 2 weeks.
So, today I take it to MAM to get new plugs and plug wires. Don't fix the problem, which I now know is a misfire. After the misfire, my car shuts down the cyclinder until the car is restarted.
So, logically, my tech thinks it's coil packs, so given they are close to $200 a piece and I have 8 of them, we swopped them around, but the misfires remained on the same cylinders.
So, it's probably the injectors. Right? As a result, I bought some techron injector cleaner and I'm running it through as I drive like a grandma.
Add to this, my "low tank pressure" indicator light has been coming on with some regularity.
What's the problem? Could it be a fuel filter? Fuel pump? or is it the injectors?
