That make take some time as I dont know anyone with one. Is there anyway it could be a bad fuel injector? I have a few spares that came with the car.

Its possible it could be a bad injector, but doing a compression test is needed. It'll take you less time to do a compression test, then swap out injectors which may also be bad. Go buy a compression tester, they are relatively inexpensive

or most auto part stores let you rent them for the cost of the tester, they just give you your money back when you return it

also, just cause you have injectors "laying around" doesn't mean they are good either, if the compression test come back good, I would get 4 stock injectors, get them cleaned, than install them.

Still, compression test first, because if your compression is low, or you have a rotor with a dead/nearly dead face, everything will have been for naught so far

Just ordered a tester off ebay, will take some time to get here. I'll let you know the results in a weeks time at the latest.

Got 115psi in front rotor, 110psi in rear. Is it safe to assume its the injectors now?

Leaking jectors are a possibility, but requires you to completly remove the upper and mid intake to gain access. Is your air pump working? Are the 5th/6th ports working? The air pump is supposed to help stop backfiring IIRC

What should I do to see if the air pump is working. I can feel air being sucked into the air box when the car is running, if thats worth anything.

All your feeling is the motor naturally sucking air. There is 2 hoses running to your air pump, take one of them off and start your car and put your hand over the one you took off, you should either feel it sucking or blowing (heh). Mind you your car may run like @$$ with the hose unhooked so don't be alarmed

Are the hoses located towards the back of the engine bay?

Why not just send them out to be cleaned/flow tested? Much cheaper option

Could it also be the fuel pressure regulator? Or is it more likely to be the injectors?

Fixed this problem. The injector cleaning was little to no help. Still spits gas out of exhaust. Any chance that its the fuel pressure valve? Or maybe the cat is clogged or flooded?

If you think the cat is plugged, disconnect the exhaust before the cat and give it a shot. As far as fuel pressure goes, that could be it. Check fuel pressure.

To check the fuel pressure is there a part on the fuel rail i can hook up to or will i have to disconnect a fuel line?
