    1 injector not clicking 92 corvette

    Hi all, I have a 92 base corvette that I just bought and my understanding is it sat for 5 years. It had a full tank of gas so I drove it home then put stabilizer in the tank. It has alway ran somewhat rough. I have changed the plugs, cleaned the injectors as seen in a u-tube video and helped...

    Running real rough with a fuel smell

    My bad, when I change the spark plugs I had those two cylinder wires swapped. I feel like such a moron. Still running a little rough but running much better since changing plugs and cleaning injectors. I wondering should I change the injectors? Are any of those 8 for $100 injectors any good...

    Running real rough with a fuel smell

    Yeah I have the second part of the manual and its throwing 26, 28, and don't think those would make it run the way it is. Need i remind that this did get real hot the day I bought it, but no water in oil and no oil in water, but the one low cylinder does bother me. I'll check out the TPS and...

    Running real rough with a fuel smell

    Yes I did and no gas smell in vacuum line and cleaned the injectors as best as I could. Could it be in ignition somewhere because of the burning eyes from the exhaust ? Is there a component or sensor I can check? I really don't want to pull all the plugs and attempt to do a compression check if...

    Running real rough with a fuel smell

    No its fine, yesterday I did a fuel pressure test and had almost 60 PSI and held forever. I'm going to pull injectors and try to clean/flush then out some. I assume with them holding pressure that their not leaking? If that doesn't help I'll pull the plugs and do a cylinder pressure test on...
