TPI NOT RUNNING RIGHT-(KIND of LONG)
Alright, my car was running fine except for what I thought was leaking injectors, but they only caused problems on startups, when it was runiing everything was fine. Last week I replaced the injectors with used ones only to have it run very rough. It would stay running, but if I floored it, then it took forever to rev up. I even put the old injectors back in with no change. So this week I decided to just replace everything while I had it back apart. So, I put in new accell injectors and a stealth ram. Well the problem is still there, so i replaced the plugs, wires, cap and rotor but the problem is still there! I have no idea what else to do. It seems to be missing and it takes forever to rev up. Please help!!

It does it with the job, but not because of the chip. It does the same thing with the stock chip. I put your chip in after and it was the same. I do not know what to look for, it is very frustrating. I feel that I have replaced everything but the throttle body so I do not know what else it could be. Maybe the injectors harness or something--im lost.

Tim, Whats the TPS and the IAC situation ?
You say its running very rough, and has no power... I almost want to say you have a dead cylinder... Maybe time for a compression test ?
This problem started when you switched to the used injectors, and continue's through now w/ new injectors and the HSR ?
Did it ever happen before the new used injectors went in ? did it ever run ok w.o those injectors ?
gotta narrow down when this started, and possible causes.
It really sounds like a dead hole to me, but you replaced the ignition components so its unlikely its related ignition related.

It has never had this problem before. It never did it until i put the used injectors in and continues now with no change. It has to be something that i did between then and now but I have no idea what it could be. I cant check it now cause I am back at school, but I will be going home again this weekend. I did take the lid off the throttle body to celan it up but I do not see how this would cause a problem so I have no clue what I have done.
