hey guys my car is running funny. it fills like it is missing but it also fills like it isn't getting any gas. it is a turbo car and i just got a hole in my exhaust. will that effect the way it runs or give it the similar effects that a bad plug or injector might give it all happen at the exact same time so i dont know which one it is. give me any ideas you might have that could help me out thanks
 
If you have an injector leak, you should smell gas. You can always just check your plugs too. Shouldnt be hard to tell if one is bad, or just borrow some from a similar car and swap them in, see if that fixes it. Hell, you could just go buy new ones anyways, they're cheap. It also depends on where your exhaust leak is at. Check it out, and get back to us.
 
Check to see that the clips on your fuel injectors are on or if some are missing. A friend of mine had the same problem that you are experiencing and found 2 clips missing from 2 of the injectors. He found some clips and wallahhh, car runs great :thumb: .
