    Do a compression test, and if you don't have a bent valve

    change the injector

    take out the engine fuse and the spark plug and wire and put the compression tester in. crank the car and get your reading. i usually drop a couple drops of oil in after the first test and do it again and if the numbers raise up, then your rings are shot.
    if it stays the same, then something else is wrong.


    Only do the oil thing if your compression is low. just thought i'd clear that up.

    1st of all thanks 2 all who put the helpin word in, i did the compression test results are in
    cylinder1 175 psi
    cylinder2 165 psi
    cylinder3 195 psi
    cylinder4 170 psi

    the factory specs are that it has to be between 178-133 psi
    oh ya the runnin rough and crappy prob, it only does at hot starts not cold, like if i start in the morning it will run normal go 2 school park if i restart within cooling period it will start up shitty, but if i start after an hour or so everything wud be fine. i love my car but the problems im getting recently got me thinkin, wut wud u guys judge off of those readings.
