What on earth is this futile exercise supposed to prove?  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.
