When started and running it makes popping noises. It was suggested that it was the injectors so I took out the fuel rail and injectors and replaced them with the ones from my 96 buick regal 3.1l cause I was told they were the same. Have the coils from my 96 and am switching them. I have changed the fuel filter three times and ran injector cleaner through the gas and then added a can of foam cleaner as suggested.
