Almost Positive its a miss now
When my car idles, its got a rough idle, and about 1-2 times a second i feel a "bump" is the best word to describe it, and whenever it "bumps" the idles go down a lil bit, so by now im almost positive its a fuel related miss, because it doesnt backfire.
im wondering, is it worth it to try and clean my injectors, or should i just buy a new set (19lbs is stock, right)
i threw some V-Power 91 octane, and a bottle of injector cleaner, and it didnt do squat, so either im wrong, and its a vacuum, or im right and the injector is too fugged to be fixed

RE: Almost Positive its a miss now
why would that cause a miss, and where are those, its worth a check
about now, im just gonna spend mah 400 on a new ignition, cap, wires, plugs, and injectors
i think they ruined one of the wires when we got my engine steam cleaned, so...

Wait how long ago did you get the engine steamed cleaned? If it was fairly reciently and you noticed the miss AFTER the cleaning, try wiping out your cap and inside your dizzy and all the plug wires and clean the coil where the coil wire goes it. You might have condensation in one of those connections and giving you a bad spark! I have learned that with my bronco after I cleaned it.

RE: Almost Positive its a miss now
i used a timing light on all the plug wires, theyre all firing,
for the record, its this idle thing, it seems to run fine at higher RPM, but it has a lack of power
we got the engine cleaned a WHILE ago, so i dont remember
my best guess is a faulty spark plug or a semi clogged injector
