Here is my problem. About 3 months ago on my t5m, the car started shuddering and such. Pulled the code and it said it was an injector problem. I swapped fuel rails with my old known working t5 fuel rail. Now I am home on break and attempting to fix the car.

Car is still running like a bag of dicks. I have replaced injectors and fpr. There is still a check engine light on, but I do not have my code reader available to check (I assume its for the injectors again). I will put a video up.

Symptoms:
-feels like car is not running on all cylinders
-while stepping on gas a little, engine sounds like a lawnmower engine at full throttle (not a weedwhacker/honda)

any help will be greatly appreciated

read the codes
read the codes
read the codes

becha its a P30X code, for mis fire. Also does it smell like fuel not burned from the tail pipe? Might be time for plugs, cap, rotor, and wires.

Change those wires and also check the connection to your MAF sensor. There was a recall some years back, all you need is a large zip tie to fix. Pull the MAF sensor wire down by the connector and tie it to the body.That could be the reason for the check engine light.

when you check the plugs make sure they are all gapped to .028
