Anyone replaced their fuel injectors?
My '94 Shadow ES runs like crap. No power. Coughs & spudders. The power loss is so great it's enough to get you killed in traffic.
I was having the problem once I drove a few miles from a cold start, the transmission would down shift, the engine felt like it lost 2 or 3 cylinders, and the loss of power would begin. If I was using the cruise I had to shut it off immediately. The engine would re-start, and eventually the power loss would go away.
My father passed away the night before Thanksgiving. My job gave me a week off, so I used that time to replace the water pump and timing belt. NOT my first experience here. When I got everything back together the power loss would not go away. Yes, I'm certain I got the timing marks right when I replaced the timing belt.
I tried new plugs. (no help)
I tried a throttle position sensor. (not help)
I looked for moisture under the distributor cap. (didn't find any)
I re-checked all electrical connections and hoses twice.
From comments made on the internet and TV I decided to try new injectors. But, I can not get the old ones (originals) out of the intake. I had the fuel rail loose, but the old injectors will not budge.
PS. the car has 216,XXX miles on it.
