Back in March of this year I bought this car (http://www.wihandyman.com/forum/show...o-O&highlight=)
It has been nothing but a smile inducing riot since I've owned it, with no issues other than a worn out idler pulley for the power steering/water pump belt. Recently though when I start it, it is running on 5 cylinders for about 15-30 seconds then back to normal. Friday I start it and the problem doesn't go away. I unplugged the spark plugs one at a time to find out it what cylinder it was. Check the wire, and plug gap, both good so I figure it's a fuel issue. I spent all afternoon yesterday taking out the injectors to attempt to clean it using this method --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFJlTfHyrUk
The ZEs injector is a little different but I was satisfied with my attempt. I get it all back together and fire it up, runs normal. I take it out for a quick rip and the thing starts the misfire again. I come home and pop off the plug wire only to find out IT'S ANOTHER CYLINDER with the misfire. I am at a loss now. Could this be a fuel issue, like dirty fuel filter, or something electronic?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
