I think the best approach might be to A/B as many components as possible from a similar NA side-by-side. Go grab JJ's car and park it next to yours, then start swapping easy-to-remove components.

They aren't fancy. Still OEM's that were supposedly rebuilt and flow-matched.Originally Posted by slowchildmiata

Looks like the expression JJ makes at a pie shop.

A rebuilt flow matched injector cost me a motor when it got stuck partially open.
It's worth a shot. I think I kept the old injectors. If so, I'll swap them in and see. Maybe an injector shorted-out in the steam bath? Is that possible?
Doubtful but here is an easy way to check if its firing without having to tear the car apart. Keep in mind it may fire but still have an issue.
^The sputtering/bogging never happens while it's just idling...always under a load.
If you can't find your injectors, I can scare up a set from one of my 1.6 motors.

^Thanks Mike.
On a lark did you check the accordian hose btw th afm & throttle body for cracks?
That will make a 1.6 run all kinds of terrible. I also have coils, sensors, injectors & ecus in my spares collection if you wnt to borrow.
I also have a known-good accordion elbow. That will definitely give the symptoms described.

^I did replace that accordion piece last year, but didn't check it lately...but I will now. Thanks Steve, I may take you up on your spares for testing.
I had a intake hose crack last month that was only 2 years old. I dont think neff could hit something under the hood but you never know.
Has fuel filter been mentioned? Too lazy to look.
I'm too lazy to answer.
That's what I'm trying to avoid!
