Chevron Techron

I did indeed change the fuel filter, and spark plugs as well.
Now since it only has 56k on it, do you really think the injectors need rebuilding?

If you used Techron ,changed fuel filter,and plugs all at the same time there is no way of telling which of the three (or combination of) fixed the problem.
Now a reason your injectors "MAY" need cleaned: Is the low miles and a 99.
It has sat for long periods of time so your injectors "MAY" be a little gummed up from setting.
But it could have been a Dirty fuel filter and your injectors are fine

Has anyone used Driven Injector Defender? I believe that Jake Raby and LN are recommending it. How often are you using it?

Yes. Why?

1. The engine was falling on its face at 5200 rpm.
2. With only 56K miles, the car has sat for extended periods of time.
3. The car is 20 years old.

But if it runs and you're happy with it, then don't worry about the injectors. Just a suggestion to get it running as well as possible.
