Unbolt the fuel rail and carefully lift up. They also each have a small clip on them. I found it easier to lift the whole rail and slide them off.

If the car is missing, the first thing I would do is call the police.

Lol.

A slight miss is usually ignition related, not fuel, which is why you will get a lot of questions about plugs, gap measurement, opti miles, coil, ICM, etc.

new fuel pump,fuel filter,opti spark,coil,air filter, spark plugs which are black now form it domping from fuel into the motor. and i was thinking it was a injector because it was just smoking on the left side.

when im driving it goes to bucking and it isn't running clear and every now and again when it get on in the gas it trys to clear up but you can tell the power still isn't there. also when i stump it it just rolls smoke out of the left tail pipe
