    Wrecked my injectors/HPOP...

    Maybe just air in the system.........top it off with oil then drive it like you stole it. If it doesn't clear up in 30 miles of wide open throttle then think about other issues. Tbar

    Check to make sure the starter bolts are tight. In the last six weeks two of my friends have had them back out causing the exact symptoms you are describing. The starter gets its grounding from the engine block. Tbar
