I have a similar problem. At first the car shakes at stops and was worse with the ac on. the code eas cylinder 1 misfire so i took it to the dealers to find the cause. they said it was the #1 fuel injector. since the injectors were hard to reach i replaced all the rear injectors, but not the front. the car ran like a brand new car for about20 minutes and then the same shake returned. the next morning the car was hard to start and seemed to be flooding. when i got it started there was grey smoke that smelled like fuel from exust, put put put sound was coming from the mufler, and this has been the problem since. it has those conditions and the shake worsens when the ac is on. when driving you can smell lots of gas smell coming from the exaust. performance seems to worsen after the car reaches normal temp. the code from the ecm says multiple misfire. when it was only cylinder 1 misfire i drove the car but the shake was annoying, now i can't drive the car and it even misfires when the rpm's are low and i'm driving it. does anyone have a clue what's going on, i will appreciate any response, before i take it back to the stealers
I changed out my battery ground wire......and that seemed to help it, but not totally fix it.
Now Ive come to the final thought that the EGR tube is severely clogged or the EGR sensor needs replacing

yeah, well your opinion doesnt mean crap to me. and that is from a import mechanic (for over ten years) and i was saying that you shouldnt make fun of stuff thats in that movie if you dont knoow that there is some truth to it. turbo with BOV makes flames in some cars, MAF runs the the engine rich for a second, no air, fuel dumps to exhuast, heats and ignites later. thats why if you plan on using your turbo'd car for street use and want it to last, then you get something that recirculates, a forge diverter or a bypass valve

That would make you 15. Take a year off?? Buhahaha.
Face it you don't know crap. Harsh I know. Bring on the knowledge if you are the Fast and Furriest master mechanic! The BOV thing was great.

No. I mean great as in how utterly misinformed you are that you actually think anyone with 1/10,000th of a brain would think that blabber you spouted was even remotely close to being correct.
Please go back to playing video games and watching car movies. Just don't try to jump the ravine after watching Dukes of Hazzard.

I think he should jump the ravine.
I believe its in the stickies that with the right Nos timming you'll run 9's easily. The specs are in the faqs.
I just wish the makers of the fast and furious wrote my repair manual instead of haynes, I'd have the sweetest ride ever.

Yeah, not like those lowly domestic mechanics! Wow, what tools do you use when you are 4-6 years old?

And uh...
on a serious note;
There's an EGR TEMP SENSOR and EGR SENSOR? There's 2?? The one I was referring to that needed changing is the GREEN plug in that's bolted to this little platform that sits to the right of the KS.
I obviously picked up the wrong one from NAPA today, it looks like an EGT sensor
