well i do have an eps light, and my instrument cluster dims a bit when trying to start. but the battery is literally a month old, and seems to have plenty of charge. i did have to replace the cable for the alternator, since mine went bad. i dont think that problem could have reoccured since my instrument cluster is working, along with everything else.
i havent done a compression test, nor do i know how to or have the tools for it, or to check valve backlash. that sounds like i might need to remove the head to do so?
i wouldnt be surprised if it was another electrical issue, since my car was at the stealership a month ago due to a bad alternator cable among other things.

fuel is definately going to the fuel rail. im not 100% sure if it isnt going thru all the injectors or not. i think im gonna get the alternator checked (reguarding eps light + since i did have a bad wire connecting to the alternator that recently got repaired.
if that doesnt fix it, im figuring the injectors arent recieving the signal to open, thus electrical problem.....again.
