That being said, it still sounds and feels like a dead cylinder (my bro's 300D 2.5 has a dead #5, and my car feels exactly the same).


Have you ever bought a second hand engine that's not "good"?

(You know what I mean)


And hang about I thought you got the same fault with two different engines - isn't that right?


And sure we're grasping at straws - but that's half of the fun.

So OK we've got injectors ticked off the list.

Do you want to try the other things?

It is a bit of fun if you have the time / energy / willingness

Put it this way it is unlikely that someone with your experience would start a thread with a weird issue and then be surprised by someone saying something like "it is a simple fix just reverse the orientation of number 2 fuse"...
