Motorvac is an on-car injector/top end cleaning procedure. It uses a
special machine and a powerful solvent. The brand used to be owned by Snap-
On. I forget who owns it now.

After much investigation, it looks like it's the injectors themselves
that's causing the problem. I have to find a place that can do an "injector
pressure-drop test", which will tell me whether the injectors are all
firing the same or not. If one is out of sync with the others, they'll have
to come out for bench testing.

In retrospect, I guess I'm lucky. In 15 years and 266,000 miles, this is
the very first driveability problem I've ever had with this car.
