I too have a '91 Carat - and after my experience with the injectors in
my  '88 GL, the Carat is having it's injectors rebuilt. They are, after
all, some 19 years old, and probably have never been rebuilt. The '88GL
now runs so sweet on those newly rebuilt injectors. I sent mine out to
Cruzin Performance. Outstanding job!
