Just got the injector out its getting cold here!Anyways, The intake plenum smelled like gas ALOT! The injectors looked dry and didnt smell like fuel that much which I found a little weird.Hopefully I dont spend this 180$ on cleaning for nothing..

So I got the injectors all cleaned and flow tested.Supposedly they were not that bad before the cleaning.Assembled everything back with new gaskets and o rings.

First impression , the car idles a little higher and after a day the check engine light came on again but this time with a P0171 Lean code....Check for vaccum leaks and cleaned maf again, code returned.
Some scanner shots.





I also noticed that the car has a hard time starting once in a while (every 3 to 4 starts ,mostly cold starts) Here are two videos, 1 how it usually start and 2 when it has difficulties.Notice how when it starts properly the idle is lower.I also noticed that the car take more fuel and I just stepped down from e load tire to c loads so that doesnt make sense..

Spray some carb cleaner around it and see if the RPMs go up when you spray it

Nope!

I tried to figure out the missfire on number 5(wasnt missfiring other then at idle)

Tested all bank 1 injectors with a multimeter ,they all checked out ok.I switched coilpack #5 to #3 ,I then cleared the code and now the missfire code is gone.Still have a very rough idle, bad fuel mileage and still stuck with two P0171's (lean bank 1).My only problem is at idle and the obvious 8mpg.I might tap the banjo bolt on the bank 1 side to check the fuel pressure.Maybe its the fuel pressure regulator..I don't know, this is getting real old.

That thing is REALLY dumping a ton of fuel now, which explains your poor fuel economy, and probably your missfire. At this point, you need to be careful about ruining your converter. I think you're getting a false lean code. Is that scan tool capable of reading 02 sensor voltage? Another thing to look at is the mass air flow sensor. What did you clean it with? Can your scan tool show you live mass air flow data in real time? I'd like to see those #'s.

I bought a new toyota mass airflow.Yes it is dumping alot of fuel, i'm getting 8.5mpg

The scan tool is a cheap unit, I guess the equivalent to what you guys have a harbor freight

The only parameters it measures are the one shown in the pictures that'i previously posted.

I think the one at the advance here they let you use will read everything in real time. Maybe check them out to see.

ahh, ok. Just to clear a few things up, when you scanned the car the last time, the engine was warm, correct? I just need to know if your ETC temp was correct. Also, it was about 60F outside, right?

I just watched the video's, but the first one doesn't have very good sound quality so I can't really hear what it's doing. The second one just sounds like a very excessive crank before it starts and then runs a bit rough. Next time it gives you a hard time starting like that, push the gas pedal and hold it all the way to the floor. I think it's loading up with fuel. Holding the pedal to the floor cuts fuel flow to the injectors. Don't pump the pedal, literally hold it to the floor and see if it aides in starting.
