Re: MKI for sale, or tech help needed

sorry, I should have been more specific there...

the car DOES have the 5th injector in, it's just not connected.
As a matter of fact, we checked for any and all vacuum leaks,
not finding anything that would make a difference.

what else?

( I hate working on other people's cars)
