Default RE: V10 running like a 4 banger

i had mine at the dealership for over a month and it pretty much stumped them, the only thing they could suggest in the end was to replace the injectors... aparently the injectors are a common issue with the v10?

*shrug*

i know i replaced my coil packs, compression tested, etc etc etc. nothing seems to have helped. i finally decided just to hell with it and i'll drive it how it is and if someone here happens to have a similar issue and comes up with a solution i'll try that i guess. heh

i know it's not very helpful, sorry.

I had violent shaking when I mis-routed a wire on the distributor cap once.

I know the v10's have those 2 coil packs, is it possible one of them is malfunctioning or a wire is routed incorrectly on one of them? The 2 boxes have to work together to fire all cylinders correctly and a misrouted wire or malfunctioning pack could cause all sorts of havoc in there.

If you suspect the MAP sensor, pick one up and try it out. It's really easy to replace and you'll know it's that part immediately whan you turn it over. If it isn't the problem, take the new one off and replace the old one and return the part. Doesn't cost you anything but time.

Right i was thinking that but the parts store wont return any electrical parts for no reason. I tried to unplug it and it stalled, so i'm guessing its not that. Can i spray starting fluid around in there to check for vaccum leaks or something? The possibility of coil packs are is something to look into. I did do a spark test on all the wires by the plugs and all seemed ok. I hope i don't have to pull it all apart again and check out the injectors they are relitivly new with only 7k miles on them or so. I appricate any more thoughts or comments.
thanks
Ken
