you don't say if the car was running good before you did this, so I'll just assume it was (hate assuming). are you 100% sure you put your plug wires on right?

did you put your fuel filter on backwards?

it was running like **** before i did any of that, thats why i replaced all that stuff, to try and fix it, it only misfires when i step on the gas passed half ....=/

Nope, most of that cheap-o cleaner wont work, you can get the injectors cleaned at a shop

yeah i got new coils before when i had the problem,

thnx bad, how much you think that'd run me?

RE: ugh idk what else to do...
 
I bought my car w/ a bad fuel injector (why it was so cheap) and I just paid a shop like $250-300 to fix it...

You could DIY for cheaper

Also, if it's not just a bad or a couple bad fuel injectors, you can get them all cleaned at a shop, not sure of the rates for that service tho
