I started having trouble when starting the car as if the cold start injector or one of the injectors was sticking. Car seemed to run on 4 or 5 cylinders, belching black smoke.
I pulled the injectors and rail and ran injector cleaner through each and tested for spray pattern and shutoff. All seem to be ok. Checked the cold start injector ands it also seemed to me ok.
With some coaxing, if I get the RPM to 2000-2500, the engine runs smooth. I thought it might be a vacuum advance problem or bad spark plug. I replaced the plugs. I disconnected the advance vacuum line at the throttle body, pulled the cap (no sign of cracks or carbon tracking). I used a hand held vacuum bleeder pump and confirmed that the vacuum advance turned.
I had a spare air meeter and swapped it as well.
After each repair, the problem remains the same. I have about 1/3 tank of premium fuel on both sides.
With the car running, and using mechanics stethescope, all six injectors are clicking.
Any thoughts? How do I check the Power Resister for proper function?
