bad injectors ?
BAD INJECTORS??
Well, not sure what is going on. Do injectors go bad? What are the symptoms of a bad injector?
On a trip from SE Oklahoma to Austin last weekend, the car seemed to have a barely noticable sag, stutter, hesitation-ish kinda thing. It seemed to be most notable intermittently during steady highway cruising. It is so faint, its almost like the fuel was cut for just a millisecond or like a little demon was just tuggin back on the car for a moment. Like I said, it is very faint. I thought maybe it was about time to change the plugs anyway, so I put new ones in with high hopes and it seems the car still has the ever so slight hesitation at constant speeds, and occasionally during acceleration.
Thanks for any advice guys

I would check fuel pressure before you change injectors if ok I have had good luck having injectors cleaned. You could also run some top engine cleaner through it might help, the quality of fuel and poor PCV system cause alot of carbon.
