This reminded me of Laythor as BART, and Jedi as Homer.

I might make it out to this if Charles finds me some fuel injectors..my car still runs like crap so there is no point in doing a dyno..maybe another compression test from some professionals would be good.

Why do you need fuel injectors?

I've tried everything and my car still runs like crap..knocking sound, bad MPG, rough idle, rough start ups, etc. I went to Tustin Mazda about a month ago and they did a compression test and said everything was fine. My motor mounts/air pump/coolant tank were replaced. I replaced my coils/spark plugs/wires/cleaned MAF/Zoom Zoom cleaner a couple of months ago. I am completely lost now..lol

Stock coils..I pretty much took off every aftermarket part off my car except my AEM intake and Greddy exhaust. I figured since it ran like crap maybe some of the aftermarket parts* were causing the problem but I guess not..
