A few months ago I took out the injectors to have them cleaned because one was misfiring, one was identified to just be bad and needed replaced so I got a new set, should be same size as old set, and installed them.
Now the car has a hard time starting, I have to jump it because the battery died but once cranking it has to sit there and crank for a solid 10-15sec, turning over faster and faster as time goes on, and once it gets to a certain speed turning over it will probably catch.
It normally sputters and won't idle worth a damn unless I hold the throttle open a few times bouncing on the 2 step at 5k rpm then it'll idle, slightly rough but overall pretty normal and gets better the longer it idles. If I turn it off and back on again I have to repeat the process.
AFR at WOT is 14.7 and 12.2 according to ECMLink, so I'm assuming the new injectors are doing well.
Injectors are new, PTU/Coilpacks/wires/plugs were replaced early this year. Not to say any of that couldn't be the problem anyway.
Any ideas why it has such a hard time starting? I have logs of starting the car but I can't attach them for some reason.
