Default update

The harmonic balancer was replaced under warranty yesterday, and I'll keep you posted on what happens now.

The car still runs rough. By "missing" I mean this: It idles fine, when I accelerate it will only go about twenty miles an hour, even when it's floored. For awhile it *would* run at 50-60 mph but not without a very high rpm.

It also runs hot. By hot I don't mean overheating, but it often runs fairly close to that. The cooling fan was replaced under a recall last month.

To update: The air filter was left off the car the last time I had the oil changed. This probably caused the initial trouble and I've replaced the MAS, wires, and spark plugs. Two injectors were salvagable and two were totally replaced. The fuel pump went out while all this was being repaired so that has been replaced.

...the mystery continues. Keep the ideas coming! My mechanic is stumped!
