Rough Idling Issue, Can't Find Soulution Anywhere

My skyline has been idling rough for a little over a year, I have a 97 GTS25t R33. What is does is when I am idle or accelerating quickly it will bog down a little or misfire, it's very noticeable and sometimes it is more frequent than others. It is much more noticeable when I am running the A/C also. It helps when I put the car in neutral at a stop light but still does it a little bit, when I am at cruising speeds it seems to be just fine although I think it would be harder to notice at those speeds, but definitely the worst when I acceleration especially going up hills. I have replace the spark plugs first and that seemed to make it better for just a couple of days. I changed both oxygen sensors, and recently just thoroughly cleaned the MAF sensor. I am looking towards the injectors next but would like some input before I dig into such a large job. Like I said it has been about the same for a little over a year, not really getting worse, but bad enough on a daily basis and more so when I run the A/C. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I changed both oxygen sensors

Correct me if I'm wrong but you should only have one.

Thanks for the info and the link, there is 1 under the hood and 1 on the exhaust, but today I removed the ignition coils and the spark plugs, did a very thorough cleaning and took careful time to replace everything, so far it is running very solid pretty much just as well as when i bought it 2 years ago (it hasn't ran that good in over a year) so hopefully the problem will not persist. I'm not that savvy with how everything works but mechanically i don't have a problem with replacing parts and configuring everything, so the input is definitely appreciated. Thanks again.

The sensor in the exhaust (cat) is a temperature sensor not an O2.

What did you replace it with?

I want to replace mine as I had to cut it to replace my cat. (couldn't get it out)

      Does that price include the rack time to straighten the frame and body and replacement of parts and paint, as well as the noise and emmisions testing  The last engineering certificate I had done, albeit about 15 years ago, was around $1000 for a few inspections and the certificate

      Geez, engineers fees have definitely gone up. Mine back 2007 cost me all of $300. Mind you, I had to go back to him a few times to get him to write the correct things on the report after he'd inspected it. Things like wrong exhaust size, wrong wheel sizes, etc etc.

      Can we see a scan of the original quote? The problem with engineers (and by this, I mean, all engineers across all engineering industries) is that there are "engineers" and there are "engineers" (you'll have to imagine the two different vocal emphases on those two versions of the same word. Engineering is a mindset - your farm kid who spent his life rebuilding the tractor will likely make a good engineer. The farm kid who spent his life taking photos of butterflies.. perhaps not. But on top of that mindset, the modern engineer has to learn how to write so that there is absolutely no way of being misunderstood. Proposals/budget estimates/quotations are one place where this is absolutely vital. You have to delineate your scope of supply with extremely hard boundaries, and anywhere where there is any possibility of not being able to have such a hard boundary, you need to write language that will cover you from scope creep, cost overruns, the inevitable interference of the client or their "engineer", etc etc. Now, if your clients are the BHPs and the Rio Tintos of the world, and similar, then you get good at this. If you are an automotive engineer, pitching work to the great unwashed masses, your skills in this area might not be well developed, because you're only dealing with knuckle draggers trying to get a big block legal in a Torana. And when I say "might not"....I'd suggest there's a better than even chance that any such skills might be completely absent. So, we might be able to look at your quote and see what the opportunities are for rebuttal.
