wow...ive had the car for 4 years now i think and its just never run right. its always had a high rpm miss that i couldnt figure out. and it was fouling the number 1 plug all the time. ive changed everything on the car and finally this weekend decided to see if it was the injectors. i swapped out the number 1 injector with one that i knew was good and the thing runs like a champ now. no more miss and it actually sounds like a mustang and not a truck. i just had to tell someone because im so pumped to finally have fixed this thing

4 years is a long time! Why so long? I assume you dont drive it that much.

ive always had a hard time putting money into the car unless it was an upgrade. and i would spend a little bit to try to fix it and it would run a little better so i would leave it alone for a while and than i just got fed up with it and finally realized that it was probably an injector. so i replaced that one and it runs great. im gonna replace all of them now and hopefully it will run even better
