Re: GM Techs....i have a grand am problem with my 3.3...slight miss

 do you mean head gasket is rare? Not intake :)­

im heading out to look at my engine once again. Im going to start
pulling wires and see if i can find the problem. I am guessing an
injector as well but i cant be too sure until i find it.

I dont know if my fuel regulator would be leaking. I dont see any fuel
leaking here. would it cause an vacum leak here or a fuel leak? I have
about 16psi vaccum where my pressure reg plugs into the intake

Doesn't mean a wire doesn't have an internal fault. The set of NEW Bosch
wires I had for the wifes S-Blazer had a bad end OOB.

NOPE. Some places do not use book rates. Especially on older
vehicles.Just the hourly labor rates plus parts.
They pull it in and try removing the filter, the rusted fitting breaks
off. They now remove and replace the fuel line with the bad fitting,
OOPs it goes all the way to the tank with another fitting there. Drop
the tank, replace the line. Replace filter.

Anyway.....hopefull­y ill have a pressure tester on the way soon (later> in the week) and also a multimeter so i can test ohms. I have a line

And your SURE those used injectors are better than what you have?

So replace it, it is just vac. line. More USED parts......

 Often dirty injectors can be renewed by pressure cleaning. Most shops
can perform this service for less than the cost of a new injector.
Disable the fuel pump, block off the return line attach a pressure
canister of solvent and fuel mixture to the fuel rail and run the car.
The solvent dissolves the oilfin residue from the injector restoring
the flow and pattern.
