Default Car runs like Arse :(

Mmmkay. My car has been sitting around since November. Got it out a couple days ago and it runs terrible... I replaced the MAP sensor and throttle body a couple weeks ago. It sounds like a subaru impreza sti . Would it likely be the injectors are gummed up? Or a coil pack decided to go bad? I let it idle for awhile and get up to temp, and this is what it spit out. If you want me to upload a vid just let me know.

chances are if your running on bad coils your injectors will become bad
or even the other way around.

I know that if injectors need to be replaced, i do them all @ the same time, but do I really need to replace every coil as well? I have read that some ppl just order one or two and just swap them around till the issue is fixed.

if you feel it could be the injectors, put a bottle of Techron fuel system cleaner in your tank. Techron actually works and will help clean out the injectors.

I would start with the coil packs first. Since they are easier to replace and you could get a buddies to swap with.
