Whichever is carbon fouled, that's your stuck injector, change it.
Is there an easy way to test the injectors once they are pulled from the car? My whole driver side bank plugs have carbon buildup on them. Injectors aren't cheep.

I have had a random misfire code for quite a while now> p0300. I have recently done all of the following.

-New coil packs
-New spark plugs
-Replaced all 6 injectors
-Valve Cover gasket
-RTV the plug well seals to stop the oil from getting into cylinder
-Even did a new PCV just in case there was bad pressure.

Any other suggestions on what could be causing the problem? My car has full throttle up until about 4k RPM then falls on its face and literally does have any *** passed that> And running extremely rich.

This is the sixth time this week. People, check the dates of the posts you’re tempted to ask questions about. This post was the last time (likely their first and only time) they posted here.

Net net, don’t expect an answer.

No harm, just trying to save you from being disappointed not getting an answer back.

Damn, make me remember my password.

I had to get my CAT replaced. Dealer said it was destroyed. Likely from something that made the engine run rich or just dump a lot of unburnt fuel.
