> 1.7L still running terribly, $1800 and a month in the shop yields a barely drivable teener

rough running
stalls at idle
backfires
0-50 takes several minutes (notice I didn't say 60 - can't hit that)
strong smell of raw gas

all speaks to at least one cylinder not firing

No visible signs of leaking fuel.
2 new injectors don't seem to have helped
Trigger and Ignition points replaced
Ignition wires checked and rechecked
Timing was supposedly set, but will check myself when I get home.

Why is this thing so cranky?
