Hey guys,

Most of you know what I drive, if not; TS v6...

Umm, not long ago, mal said that my fuel injectors needed cleaning, that was less then a month ago, now what I'm wondering is, the cars started doing this thing where no matter if it's idling or if my foots on the pedal (most roads near me have 80k speed limit) it will splutter and when it's idling it sounds like its gonna stall.

Is this the fuel injectors causing this? If so I'll do it today, but if it's something else then I'm screwed.

Mal did my spark plugs so theyre new and it's got new coolant, new hoses, new oil, all new seals/belts etc... Dunno what else it could be...

I should note that when my foots flat, it performs fine, but if I gradually speed up, it feels like its having trouble getting power... Or fuel if that's the case

If they are not clean, then no fuel goes in. Makes sense. Why not take it to Mal?

Same problem here. Turned out to be a burnt exhaust valve at 230,000 km.

Don't forget to check your fuel filter, I cleaned out my injectors and about a week later I was experiencing the same problems again because the filter was well overdue for a change.
