Similar, to begin with it idled and drove extremely rough. After Seafoaming it, it now only has problems if you leave it in drive and stop for extended periods of time. I would definitely do a compression/block test before you seafoam though, I have heard stories of people blowing head gaskets using that stuff on a bad engine.

I'm probably gonna pull all the injectors out anyways cause it's been sitting for about 4 years and I'm pretty sure the gas in it is pretty old as well. There's no telling what could have stirred up in the tank driving it home. Injectors are relatively inexpensive from Summit Racing, if I had to replace any.

If it was sitting then you might definitely have a problem with the fuel system. I say while it's running put some techron in the tank and seafoam it, see if that helps at all.

Gonna go get a new battery first, the one that's in it is from 10/08....so yeah it probably needs to be replaced. Charged it but it's not strong enough to even make it click when you turn the key.
