sluggish acceleration and engine rocking 95sl1

The_Eruptor · 09-20-2005, 10:44 AM

I just bought an SL1 which is supposed to have a new engine with 16,000 mls on it. It was fine until it started accelerating at barely a crawl and I also noticed the engine rocking side to side a bit while I'm on the gas. A friend told me it might be an injector problem, but I don't know.

The rocking would indicate a miss to me. That could be an injector. It could be a lot of other things too. How do the plugs look?
