Just checked the fuel pressure, it's 49 psi at idle, and I changed the spark plugs the other night. I'm thinking its an injector or the coil rail, anybody got an opinion?


Little more info. I jus electrically tested the injectors, I came up with 6 12.8 ohm readings, so the injectors aren't bad.

Default caster angle help
ok here it is, I changed out my 3" coils for 4.5" coils, replaced the upper and lower control arms with one made for a 4.5" lift, had it alinged and the caster is 10.7! what needs to be done to fix it? it looks like the LCA are all the way back in the bracket.

sorry if I am in the wrong place, if so- yell at me as to where I should ask this question. What sensor would cause me to lose third and overdrive. I'm going nuts trying to figure this out. No codes have been thrown.
