The factory injectors are garbage. (The company is out of business) and a scan wont tell you that they are garbage because unless they fail completely the wont trigger a trouble code.
Marren fuel injection in CT can build you a set of custom injectors cheaper than replacing a single stocker. They built my S-3 injectors. Solved a lot of running issues.

I think the 2000 x1 was fuel injected. You might have bad gas, a weak fuel pump, a plugged up air filter, any number of things. is there a check engine light on?
