Message	'93 300ZX TT with 50K miles. Last year when I started the car up after it mostly sat for the winter it ran REALLY rough. The more I drove it the better it ran but it never ran right. Took to Nissan dealer. They said injector in Cyl #3 was bad and wanted $2K to replace all injectors. Decided to run a tank of gas with Lucas Oil Injector cleaner/Lubricant gas additive. After 1/2 a tank the car came to life. Have been running with Lucas since. However exact same thing happened again this Spring. About 1/2 a tank through it came to life again. However the monkey wrench is I have been driving the car regularly now and I started it up to go to lunch after driving to work this am and it was running on 5 cylinders again but quickly cleared up (less than a minute). Then after lunch started the car up and it ran on 5 cylinders all the way back to work (5 miles). Hate to replace injectors if I have some sort of electrical gremlin. Any ideas or advice welcome.
