Re: FUEL INJECTORS

It could be that 24 lbs/hr is too much. I think the stock injectors flow 19 lbs/hr. If it ran fine before you changed them then that's probably it. Try putting the stock ones back in and if she runs fine with the old ones, there you go.

Re: FUEL INJECTORS

Bingo! Im afraid jtsk is right. Unless youve made changes to the motor to increase its fuel requirements, larger injectors are not going to work.
