    Odd Problem...should be easy...but?

    I would guess injector issue but i'm probably wrong. if have a volt meter check for big voltage drops. should hold around 13-14v fairly steady when driving. use a meter on the cigar lighter with a old air pump wire.

    figured it out, 2 injectors on bank 2 were spraying badly and with low flow. i took them out and sealed a bottle of carb cleaner to them with a rubber hose and made them spray untill the jets work perfect. at first test the spray was shooting to the side rather than strait. runs like new again...

    Electrical Battery Flashing

    i would hook a volt meter up to cigar lighter and look for low voltage when the light comes on. find a old spot light and cut the wires off of it then tape the volt meter to the wires. should never be lower than about 13-14 volts with engine on.

    Lite Detonation On 1-3 Pistons

    i was able to get it to ping again, this time very briefly with the 93 octane as opposed to constantly with 87. it seems with 93 the pcm can quickly correct it by adding fuel or changing spark timing. could this be strictly a heat issue? should i be looking for crankcase air entering into the...
