Shouldn't just use any ol' cleaner in there. It can be bad for the cat.

If you do, just use the good stuff, from the dealer usually, BG 44K.

Please let us know.

We'd all like to learn something if it was something completely unexpected.

so it wasn't the EGR valve, and my mechanics said it has something to do with a piece eletronic component that produces high voltage power. i have no clue what he's talking about, do you guys know? i'm skeptical about his views on EGR valve too, he used some diagnostic tools, but returned no findings of problems.

the ignition coil?

That basically creates the charge for the distributor cap. It turns the battery's 12 volts into thousands.

i think that's it, i'm gonna go buy a replacement from dealer today, costs about 170 bucks. i'm not so sure why the coil would go bad. so i'll be replacing the part this weekend. we will see if it makes any difference, btw, ever since the injector cleaner, my car hasn't stalled, but i can tell the problem hasn't gone away.
