dont have a code reader on hand.
and there isnt a check engine light in the dash so i dont know if its even on

it started yesterday it was running fine then while driving it just went to crap. then on the way home from my night class it ran ok for about a minute then went back to crap.

it idles but it seems 2+3 arent firing right.
i've changed the plugs and wires. and swapped coils around..its not the coils. altho when i unplug the coil for 2+3 it runs smooth (as smooth as an engine on two cylinders can run.)

im thinking it might be clogged injectors or something.
it is backfiring when i open the throttle.
and when i changed the plugs all but #3 came out dry. #3 had some oil from the plug well because the valve cover is leaking. didnt smell gas on it tho

i also cleaned what connectors i could get to.

ideas?

i've also swapped the maf from another rig that is known to work. no change. person who figures this out gets a cookie..im gonna try and go to advanced and see what comes up for codes.
