ok so i just did my lower intake on my 98 blazer lt 4x4. it ran great the past couple days. but when i went to leave work last night it ran like crap like when i went to give it gas choke. so i thought i was low on gas went to fill up 10 bucks toped it off so im not low on fuel. so i drove it home god i was scared casue it had no get up and go. floored it then it went fine. but soon as i went to give it gas to go choke choke. spit sputter. so i want to auto zone to scan it SEL came on and PO300 multiple misfire. so i did a fuel pressure test maybe my pump bout to go. 60psi when turn key on. runing 55-60 psi so fuel pump out the question. starts up fine no problem. idle ruff now. go to give it gas stutter til i get about 2000 rpm no mis no backfire runs great. if it was out of time it wouldnt even run great at all rpms right. so i called around and my family mechanic over 25 plus experiance said possible spider injector either clogged or bad. people at auto zone and orielys said the same thing. could it be the spider going bad. need help ............. sorry for the long thread enter in as much info as possible....

Fuel pressure leakdown rate is very important.
Did those guys explain how bad injectors affect low load rpm and acceleration more than full throttle and above 2000 rpm?
So.. it acts same when you start it, hot or cold? Any difference as it gets warmed up?
If you floor it, it works good and runs good over 2000.. sorry sounds like a timing problem or a vacuum leak to me.
Wonder if it would make a difference if you disconnected the battery for a while?
