Question
1988 Buick Regal
I'm having engine hesitation and very rough performance. The exhaust sounds like it's saying "DougDougDougDougDoug". My brother-in-law recently replaced the fuel injectors on the advice of a well certified mechanic. The car ran much better for a few weeks and now this problem has quickly creeped up again. It is idling down to almost a stall and then back up slowly. The MAF Sensor has been replaced and appears to be in good condition. When fuel injectors were replaced, a high-pitched "vaccuum" sound was heard, but unidentifable. When accelerating, the vehicle shakes at low pedal pressure, but smoothes out / vibrates much faster when the vehicle downshifts. Just recently the vehcle has had markedly reduced acceleration...pressing the pedal farther does not correspond to more acceleration.
Thoughts?
(Thanks!)

It sounds like your describing a miss fire. Find out which cylinder is not pulling its share by carefully pulling 1 plug wire at a time off of the coil.Its either going to be ignition ,fuel(or a vacuum leak form either the intake gasket or cut injector oring)or a mechnical problem inside the engine.
