I replaced my CTS well before this problem first happened to mine. It still seems to be working well.

ahh kk lol

i mite go get 6 brand new injectors and get them put in and see how that goes

they shudnt be over 40 bucks an injector ay?

You won't get new VS injectors (Bosch 0 280 150 973) brand new for $40. I bought put VN-VR injectors in mine as I was advised they were the same. They do ok, but they lack power. I had my VS injectors cleaned and now the car goes fine. I would stick with the VS one's, but many injector places are now selling the VT injectors (777's) for the VS's (~$50 on ebay new) - not sure if it is a good idea or not. You can get reco ones on ebay for ~$120.

All this said, my problems started after the cleaned injectors were fitted, but I haven't had an issue since I cleaned the throttle body (esp. the IAC valve and port) and did an ecu reset.

Well the car sat in the shed for a few days, and the old problem has returned - it obviously isn't the IAC valve. I am out of ideas!
