My car and I are in a Fight!! It started on the highway, we were just cruising along mad at each other because it was the first time in the rain. I said i was sorry and LS1 said im going to start misfiring for 2 weeks. Well it was on. With the SES code flashing I ended up at a gas station trying to figure out what was wrong when LS1 felt bad and got me home with no problems. I changed the plugs, that worked for 60miles, before the missing started again. I took it to the dealer and they said they couldnt work on it because of mods but said it looked like a clogged injector on #6. I put in cleaner. No better. I then took it to a mechanic and used the Snap On code reader and it showed me hundreds of misses on #6 and a few on #2 and #8 most likely caused by #6. We pulsed the injector and it worked for a day before missing again. I took it back, same codes on comp. The car will idle rough then clean right up and then idle rough again. If it is missing i can turn it off, restart it and its fine. So i changed injector #6 drove it today and it seemed great. Well after 3 cycles and a haircut its missing randomly again. I can power through the misses at 2500RPM's and it will fire and run fine. The misses are all at low RPM's. The SES light is off at the moment because it reset it after changing the injector yet the car still misses down low at randoms times.
PLEASE HELP!!!! I dont know what to do next. Everyone i have had look at it says its something to do with fuel. Plugs and wires are fine (have all been swapped).
Car has 6670miles.

Re: My car and I are in a Fight!! What mods do you have? Mods do not void a warranty. The Maguson-Moss Acts prevents this. You should find another dealer who knows the law. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />

It's a several thousand dollar fine for not running cats (to the place that installed them) and they may be worried it'd come back to get them... Plus depending on how strict the dealership is they may want nothing to do with it since it's a federal offense to run a car on public roads without a catalytic converter...
