washing your motor shouldnt have anything to do with it. check that your secondaries are come on.

I have been having similar problems and got new injectors and it fixed nothing.

I got a fuel pressure regulator and it was bouncing around.

When I looked up faulty FPR I found people who said that their secondaries were not firing and that they found their fuel pump sock dirty.

I changed my fuel pump sock and it fixed it for about a half a mile.

Then I dropped my tank and washed out about a bucket full of rust and dirt and now my car runs beautifully.

May not help but let me know.

check your plugs and coils..especially the coils since you got stuff wet inside your engine

hi impedence will generally have a better spray pattern from what ive found.

But then again. In secondaries ive never had a problem using low impedence injectors.
