    Engine serial number?

    What spark plugs (were they installed AFTER compresor), and what are they GAPPED at?

    Have you REINSPECTED the plugs?

    One other item to consider: A failed air compressor will often pack metallic debris into the fuel rails, AND the DIRECT INJECTORS.

    Serial # lb299729
    NGK plugs were put in
    No I didnt reinspected the plugs
    And the plugs were put in after the compresor
    Should I get the fuel pressure readings and what should they be at ?
    The air compressor didnt lock up , but made noise and had some metal shavings there , the fuel rails were flushed

    Rather than giving you a specification... let's try this.

    Obtain Air (Port side) and Fuel (Starboard side) Pressure readings:

    -At idle speed
    -At 1500 RPM's
    -5 Seconds after engine shutdown
    -10 Seconds after engine shutdown
    -15 Seconds after engine shutdown

    You will need a DUAL pressure gauge setup (so you can accurately monitor BOTH pressures at the same time).

    Pay special attention to the DIFFERENCE between air and fuel pressures, as it's the real critical indicator in diagnosis.
