Last Saturday as I was getting in first.. the car started to backfire.. and then afterwards run really crappy.. it hesitates, and has been hard to start up since.
Also not to mention the car smells like gas inside and out. I believe it's running a bit too rich?
I took it to a muffler shop today hoping that the cat just came loose because that's where it was shaking crazy at idle..
A gasket was blown, which was replaced while another seemed to have a leak and then was spot welded. Thought it would have been no big deal until I drove the car home and it still ran crappy as ever. Not as loud as it used to when the gasket blew, but it's not the same.. the power is totally gone.. but the backfire seems to have ceased.. somewhat.
Is this the cause of a bad injector? I tried looking at the SE-R mailing archives, but the search function was unavailable.
Any ideas? I am going to check the injectors, but how will I know which ones are bad and which ones aren't?
By the way, it's a 1991 NX2000 w/over 128,000 miles.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Jerome
