Intermittent vibration 50-55 MPH

I thought my sledge hammer repaired bent rim was causing a vibration between 50-55 that came and went.

It is now gone since I replaced all 4 injectors to cure my P0420. I guess I actually had a "too rich" misfire at a particular RPM caused by a leaky injector.

That's interesting.
I have never heard of an injector giving a vibration symptom.

Not bad you cured two problems with one repair. You got to like that.

One thing I have learned over the years is that The text book is not always accurate I the real world.

Car can do some strange this at times.

That's a good one Donbrew. Never heard of that either like Lucky says. How's it running now that you've replaced the injectors.

Still idles like a 4 cylinder. No noticeable improvement.

May have also cured the transient ABS TC lights also, jury is still out on that.

Jury came back within an hour of my post. Still have a funky wheel speed sensor.


But the EVAP finally ran and the CEL is still clear.

Well 1 for 2 isn't too bad at this point. Looks like you are nailing them down one at a time.

Don is the most persistent diagnostics guy we have here, he never gives up.
