starters when "going bad" don't do that either, it may turn slow like the battery is dead

I've been running injector cleaner through mine and its been helping. A little. i think I should probably just replace the injectors. I understand stock injectors are 22lb/hr? And the car at optimal HP output needs 20lb/hr injectors.. I've just recently begun modding the car, so I figured maybe puttin 30lb/hr injectors in there.

Btw SlvrV6Camaro, where did you get those stylized 3800 V6 decals? Only ones I see on ebay I don't care for, they are too rigid and "digital" looking (if thats the word for it).

Could be a bad fuel pressure regulator. If it's really bad you'll find fuel in the vacuum line that's connected to the pressure regulator, thats the quick check. The other way to check is to hook up a fuel pressure gauge and see if the pressure holds when you turn the key off. When it really gets bad the car will start giving you a SES code for random missfire.
