I have searched ,I believe,the entire internet.Am I right in believing that no one has ever truly made a Q idle smooth again after the idle started messing up?

I used to have rough idle for years. It turn out to be a stupid coilpack that messed up the idle.

Common prob for that year. But in the 94, I still have one purple headed injector left in my rail (and one used spare) that came with the car when I got it. Dam misfires when warm are impossible to diagnose in phase two injectors, unless you know which ones are doing it. It ohms out just fine, as did all of my other failures. She just now started running totally smooth at all temps. Flawless when cold. I removed it during my last injector nightmare and she just now started running decent 250 miles later.
