I sell fuel line kits, rebuilt injectors, screw and crimp clamps and
injector seals and a nice replacement injector plug boot. Before you tare
into clamps and hoses maybe start with unbolting the injectors from the
manifolds and check the spray and volume. Pulling the injectors can be
tricky and compromise the hoses with the twisting and yanking. Next get the
meter out and see if the grounds are working at the injector plugs
