You can't make design changes to a .STL file so it is not a source file.

That is one most people use but I don't use it enough to justify the cost. Maybe 1 or 2 months a year max.

If your injectors were all working the same, my guess is that's not your problem. What does it cost you now to get it tested?

That is a good idea. I have a spot welder that I could attach battery cables to which would probably also work. Also would not create a big spark.

I don't think the CAT can break up on it's own. It can plug up if it was using leaded gas, that was an option back when unleaded first showed up.
