no engine lights and oils good. someone at work told me there might be a bubble in the motor and to take it to a radiator specialist to have them push it out but not sure if he was just messing with me or not, im still gonna call around.

no they were not messing with u they can vapor lock you can go to your local auto parts store and get a radiator flush kit it goes in your line and you hook the garden hose up to it insted of loosining your drain plug take off the cap and let her rip... lol thats like five dollars compaired to a hundred or so

You didn't happen to notice any raw fuel in the vacuum line that goes to the fuel pressure regulator or the nipple on the FPR, did you? I have seen one regulator that had a ruptured diaphragm and raw fuel was being sucked right into the intake manifold and causing the problem you described.

In my 25 years of turning wrenches for a living, I have never seen a leaking injector in a gasoline engine. I'm not saying it can't happen, but it's very rare. Your o2 sensor may be lazy.
