Check for vac leaks and fuel injector cleaner with 91 octane isn't a good combo.
poor performance
hi all its been awhile since i visited this forum i hope everyone is doing good, but lets get down to business i got a 92 legend ls 4dr and a month ago i did a tune up sparks,air filter,fuel filter,oil change n filter n im using a fuel injector cleaner with 91 octane fuel thinking it could restore some of the jdm specs of the engine, since i start the car on cold it tends to drop the rpms quite badly if i kinda touch n release the gas pedal. n if i keep doing it, it will shut down completely but just the first time the car gets started ,also if i drive it n punch it will think twice before doing anything just wanna know if its something serious like dirty intake/egr, vacuum hoses ,fuel rails,injectors, etc .cauze i dont wanna to get ripoff by a mech , i hope someone here can shine a light to this lost sheep before i end up with a full size paperweight thx

Thx for replying but how do i know or find the leak, does it leak fuel or wat
N why its not a good combo, the fuel injector cleaner could do more damage than good
Also i heard a guy saying it could be the fuel rails and injectors could it be possible
Cauze im kinda out of $ but i got my tools so i could do it my self if it is
Not too difficult thx

inspect all you vack line for cracks or holes in them. 1 of my legends did this and it was the air cleaner hose that went to the air cleaner box was split. if your fuel rails are wet or you smell a strong gas smell from under the hood dont drive the car as it will catch on fire!
Do our cars have an idle speed control valve/solenoid? If so, it could be acting up. Also, check timing, to specs. GL.

Check / adjust your idle
Check vac lines - try your best to make sure they are correctly routed too
Bleed the coolant system
Check your rad overflow
