Bad Injector?

does anyone think this is a bad injector or a bad map sensor or something whats wrong with my car. so no matter what gear im in i can be cruising in 5th on the highway. sometimes when i get on it the car falls on its face then i let off and get back on it and its fine. does this sound like a bad injector or what? and if it is how do i test them

CEL = Check Engine Light

You would use an automotive OBDII scanner to read the code/s Places like autozone will pull the code for you for free.

Take it to auto zone and have them pull the code if your check engine light is on. If it just falls on its face it is possible you are hitting boost or fuel cut. Have you been tuned after all your mods? What is your mod list?

I would do the following things since you are getting no CEL's.
-Boost Leak Test
-Check Plugs
-Log the car
