R U sure its your injectors, because in order for injectors to have a problem the fuel filter is probably really clogged which would cause the problem you mentioned. BTW that injector cleaner you add to the tank doesn't work, believe me on this one, i used to be a mechanic and the only way to clean injectors is to disconnect the fuel pump, remove the input fuel line and hook up a injector cleaner pump to the fuel rail that runs to your injectors. If this is the second time you have had that problem its probably the gas your buying, try buying gas from a very busy gas station, that insures that at least your getting "fresh" fuel and not some fuel thats been sitting in the ground collecting condensation (water).

If you have a broken injector, then your engine will be shaking like hell, and you will feel it in the car. It would be running unbalanced. Our maxima had a busted injector (at about 115K) and the engine was running rough as hell because it was only shooting 5 Cylinders. Chances are you've got some crummy gas. If you've got a broken or clogged injector already, something is very wrong.

I had a problem like this a couple weeks back, I took out my spark plugs and they were kinda loose, there was this brown crap on them too, i dont think they were making contact with the coils, I cleaned them up, made sure they were tight, and now it has been running fine.

Chevron Techron works...and use 87 octane. 93 doesn't clean any better.

Why are you putting 93 octane in, there is no need for that in our cars... just put the cheapest gas in and save the money you won't notice any difference and it looks like its causeing problems, so I am not sure why you keep doing it.

i was paying attention when i put the 93 in it. i thought i was putting 87 until i got done pumping the gas. i guess from now on ill just make sure it is 87 instead of 93
