5 cyl?
Hi all
I just bought my Z a week ago and i was thrilled. but now it seems to be running uneven. i don't have the greatest knowledge of cars but it is missing and sounds as it would if a spark plug was not working. i changed all my spark plugs, checked all the connections and tried injector cleaner. it still isn't running smoothly. i've avoided driving it incase it is doing damage but my machanic is away for a week and i want to drive my new car. does any1 have any ideas?
P.S
I think the 4th Piston may not even be moving. i unplugged and re plugged all the sparkplugs indivdually while the car was running abnd it had no change in rythm.
Pls some1 help. much appreciated

Hey bud, if you have changed all plugs and know that #4 is getting fire then its probally gonna be an injector. I found mine by letting the car idle (which it did real ruff) a few minutes, then removed all the plugs and looked at them. The #3 slighty wet and the #4 was soaked with fuel, I replaced all 6 injectors in mine and it run very well now. If your plugs are dry you can listen to the injector by using a sawed off broom handle or something like it and place it right on the injector its self. Listen to a known good cylinder first and you will here it clicking. You might want to check the compression too just to rule out worn rings, bad valves etc..........
