Default getting my car better

aight tonite was all about fixing up the car. painted my strut bar - looks pretty sweet now

took off my cold air intake, man the filter was horrible. all rusted and stuff. so i switched that out. decided to get rid of the cai cuz it was just causing trouble. i have an evo style cf hood so we just decided to use only 1 pipe of the intake and make it more of a sri. its very nice. o yea painted the intake too.

my poor car had been chillin for a few months cuz it cracked its block.

so yea the injectors were all clogged. it was horrible. cleaned those out.

my car has been having serious acceleration problems.

cleanin the injectors did help alot, but it still doesnt wanna accelerate. any ideas on wut else i can do to help it out??? cuz it really sucks right now. it got so bad b4 that i pulled into a street and had to put hazards on

but yea, i plannin on just getting new fuel injectors. we checked the fuel rail, theres no problem there. but yea any ideas?

change oil might have sludge build up, check sparks if they bridge or are blocked run higher octane gas.
