Heres a really strange problem....
Heres a really strange problem....
OK, nearest i can tell, this only seems to happen with 93 octane.
- The car always starts up and runs smoothly when cold.
- When the car has been warmed up and ran for any length of time, then is shut off and sits for like 20 mins-1 hour, when re-starting at least one of the cylinders is not firing, which results in an obviously really lumpy throttle. This lasts for approximately 2 mins, then the cylinder(s) start firing again normally.
I did replace the cap and rotor with generic autopartstore replacements, as well as the wires and plugs, which are Bosch +4s. I hear that people have had problems with the +4s and VGs, as well as not using Nissan original parts in the ignition system, so could any of this be my problem?
Again, as near as i can tell, this problem does not occur on 87 octane gas. Thanks in advance.

I have used the Gumout super concentrate once or twice since June. No change, really. You think it might be a dying injector then?

i cant say for sure its the fuel injector...ive had a similar problem once or twice now...but mine was being caused by the idle air control valve acting up.
Try "LUCAS" products. my brother has a 1990 toyota camry and it runs madddddd smooth...dumps lucas in every oil change....they got a whole chain of products.... from oil stabilizers to fuel enjection cleaners to even transmission stabilizers..try sum of that..
