injector question
Last night my engine started acting like it's flooded. I can started it up but when I accelerate it bogs down and dies. I also can smell gas when I let it idle for a few minutes. Would this be an injector problem or any other things I should look at first. I checked the codes and have none stored.

Re: injector question (clyde)
Changed your fuel filter lately?
Is it driving like a cylinder isn't firing? Easy test to localize the problem: Get an insulated plug wire puller...pull and replace plug wires while the motor is running till you find the one that doesn't change the way the motor idles.
That's the cylinder that's not getting fuel or fire....pull the plug. If it's wet, it's not getting fire!

Re: injector question (RocketSled)
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll just change the plugs and wires. I've had the car close to a year and never changed them, and no I have not changed the fuel filter either.
