did that bushing ever fix issue? I'm having same exact problem now on my completely stock speed 3
hard to put into 1st or 2nd gear
what's that plastic piece even called?
waiting to borrow a leak down tester to see what's going on
I did notice cyl 1 2 and 3 looked wet on top piston. like unburnt fuel
piston 4 looked pretty dry not sure if that means anything.
pulled intake off. it's not broken the switch above looks like is getting stuck.
only I saw kinda off was the grommet or lock for pcv valve was partially off BUT valve looked like it was in pretty good and never saw smoke from smoke test
I resmoked it again. all i can see is some smoke coming out of trans (assuming rear main seal)
is here a video of it idling. this is the best it has done

sorry just noticed I totally posted wrong kink
it's these I bought

they sent with no paperwork. just says they were reman.
it's why I kinda believe it's injectors but what is the chance of all 4 being off.
brand new spark plugs came out looking blacker then black literally In a couple of minutes of trying to idle
I can't even drive it

didnt think about the check valve. I can try and smoke it directly thru throttlebody this time as opposed to by air box?
so I have a gen 1 with about 160k miles. I recently replaced the injectors for a misfire.
got a set of injectors reman from eBay (not sure if that's the issue or not)
I replaced intake gasket, tb gasket, pcv valve (oem), oil collector gasket and all new injector seals and also cleaned the...
