    so new discoveries, i pulled out my volt meter and checked the battery at idle cold start was 13.8 as soon as it got warm in fluctuated from13.8 to 12.8 so maybe time for rebuild alternator with volt regulator, also i gotta swap icvs.

      Any update ?
      Was it FPR , O2 Sensor , Vaccum leaks, or Coolant temp sensor?

        If i let it idle until it's warm, it starts to bog down until the whole car is shaking and the idle goes down to about 500. From there it will either stall if i give it gas or have full power for a few secs when i floor it.

        It's basically like the gas pedal is an on/off button on a video game.
        Any detail update ?

            Finally, after making sure all wiring and sensors are correct, the culprit is the injector harness/socket number 6 was cracked. Of course couldn't see it at the beginning as those injectors plugs are buried in that long plastic box on the fuel rail.
            Thanks alot guys ! It runs great after all.

              Good to hear! that plastic cover makes it look good, but makes it difficult to confirm connections are good.

                Very happy with the result and intentionally took a very long detour on the way home, just to enjoy it, feels so good :)
                Thanks again!
