Swap two spark plug wires on the most perfectly tuned engine and it is going to run like a pig. Why swap the injector plugs since the injectors fire at the same time because they are wired to the SAME node. If your want to quickly check the efficacy of the injectors, just snuff out your cigarette, pop out the injectors and crank the engine. I just read your most recent posting, Eric, and, my man, before you go chasing a bunch of boogiemen that do not exist, check the shield on the stiff, bright green conductor to the OXS sensor. If the shield, which is grounded of course, has broken through the insulation of the inner conductor, the OXS input is taken to ground and the exact symptoms which you describe will be exhibited.
