I think I've got a bad injector what do you guys think?
So I've been trying to pinpoint a hard starting and not starting when hot problem that I thought was in the distributor. Well I changed the plugs and the number 1 plug was as white as a brand new one. The rest were black as coal. The car has a steady miss at idle and riding the car it just doesn't really have any power. I"ve only had it 3 or 4 days and it ran alot better the 1st day. What do you guys think?

I actually changed them last night. I put in a set from a 2002 LS1 and it was the problem. The car runs better than ever now. Thanks

I think I have the same problem. does your car have a hard time starting and did it idle really rough? Mine ran great the first day I had it, but since, ive had these problems. It runs fine when I get to about 5 mph, but is rough when it idles.

My car would go up and down at idle from 500 to 700 ish. It didn't have any power once I got moving but it was a smooth miss if that makes since. It ran consistently just no power at all. It would crank forever when it was hot. It ran good the first 5 seconds of running but just keeping getting worse. My fuel pump actually gave up today. It had a electronic whine from inside the cabin that I wondered about but it looks like I figured out what it was lol. I held my car up to around 2500 rpm and unplugged each injector. A few wouldn't change the engine at all and some was very noticeable. The number 1 however must not have been doing anything it was white as snow.
