I checked the fuel injectors with a meter, and I'm getting 12.8 ohms across the board. I don't know what else to check, anybody got any ideas?

Cap, rotor, and wires? How long since new?

If I move the LCA's forward won't that increase the caster angle?

Is your problem "CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG"?

Can happen with aftermarket headers lol. Get a bigass pipe and bend it so it clears stuff.
