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!
