WE3RX7 is on a distinguished road
I dont think the seal is sticking.. I heard that car start up the other day and it didn't seem like that would be the case.

Possible causes:

- Bad ground (any number of grounds, but I'd start by checking the battery to be honest - its always the simplest of things)

- Weak alternator

- 5th & 6th ports getting stuck (I know you said that you're running them on the airpump, is it supplying enough pressure still?)


I'd tell you to check the injectors, but if they've been cleaned, thats probably not the case. It could also be a bad connection to the ECU, bad CAS, clogged Oil Injectors, etc.

If you run some premix in your next fill up, see if it improves. Do you have aftermarket gauges for water temp or oil temp?

I'll check over the grounds again, but i haven't had any other electrical problems.

Recently replaced and still pumping out 14.4v pretty regularly

Pretty sure they're okay. I have checked to see if they're sticking, but my trouble starts well below when they should open anyways.

I'll be able to check the car out a little more tomorrow. I'm finally over the plague.
