Hey guys, after some advice here, my AU1 Fairmont drives beautifully but the idle is a bit rough, sort of hunts a bit and vibrates sometimes more than I think it should. I've replaced the leads, spark plugs, fuel filter in the past week and it hasn't helped too much. The mechanic I've been too reckons it's most likely the injectors at this stage, since he's had it hooked up to the computer and all is good there and it's obviously not the leads, plugs or fuel filter. Does this sound reasonable? He's quoted me 200 bucks to take it all apart and clean the injectors. Is this a hard job, or should I get some NEW injectors myself and put them in? Any other ideas? I want to get it all sorted and running perfectly before I start too many pricey mods... Thanks a lot, Matt.

Clean your pcv valve and make sure the hose going into the rear of the rocker cover is tight.

I haven't checked the hose, but I forgot to mention I cleaned the throttle body and ISC valve too. Has anyone changed their injectors themselves?

injectors aren't that hard compared to a diesel motor where u have to bleed the fuel system
