I'm waiting on my injectors to get here in 2 days. I've also drained all bad fuel and blew the lines. I just want to no since the car has 220025 miles that am I doing all this work and spending all this money for it just to have a major problem down the road or will things work out.I've spent almost around 600 for parts and have done all the work myself. I just need to no if it's gonna be good or bad. Thank u and can't wait to hear ur response good or bad.
