Re: LB9 hesitation when given gas and no low end power
Ive replaced TPI injectors a few times with out disconnecting the fuel lines. Remove the bolt that attaches the assembly to the head, right where the fuel lines attach. This gives you room to raise the rails enough to pull the injectors out. They come out hard so be prepared and be sure to rotate the lock tabs so they release. You can toss these tabs once you have the injectors out. They are unnecessary. Be sure to lube the injector o-rings with vaseline when installing them so they go together smoothly.

Man I feel bad bro. SO what are you going to do with the car? You still gonna keep it? How did you find out that the unibody was bent?

Had a guy come out and look at it. it was in a serious accident and thats why my body panel fitment was really bad. I am just surprised the tops didnt leak like a faucet. Atleast the 15th anniversary will get restored sooner now though! look on the bright side my friend.

i had the same promblem well close to it and i did some research and found out i needed to turn the screw on top of my carb counter clockways as well as adjust my idle speed screw on the drivers side bottom of the carb. i have a QJ carb just to point out. AND NOW I SPIN TIRES EASY.
