If so, make sure to monitor the coolant level in the reservoir. If it continually drops, you may have a problem.

Alright here's the injectors in my opinion they don't look bad at all?

I'm not sure what looking at them is going to tell us.

Did you do the fuel pressure leak down test before you pulled them?

I thought I would pull them out first and make sure they didn't look like garbage since I've seen some preety bad ones that are stock that look super bad so I thought I'd check with that

While you have them out, check the resistance of each injector since they're now easily accessible. Maybe also use a battery to make sure each one "clicks". Details on doing this can be found online.

I did not mention fuel pump because it is on your list of stuff you have already replaced. But the symptoms you just described sound a lot like a fuel pump going bad. So if you have not replaced the pump you might want to look there.

The water coming out the tailpipe is just vapour that condenses back in to water until the exhaust piping and muffler warm up. The black splatter marks are the water washing the carbon off the inside of the tailpipe. All fuel injected cars do this, newer cars just do not produce the black splatter marks as much.

Checked them for resistance and for clicking good in both categories.

What were the resistance readings?
