Subject:      injector test...
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed"

While I've got the intake/injection system out, and I'm waiting for seals (this afternoon; ignore my previous request for part numbers), what advice do you have for testing the injectors and not setting everything on fire?

Pull the coil wire?

The injectors are still mounted in the intake manifold at this point. I'll go back outside and stare at disassembly in a minute, and see what else I can break while I wait for parts.

The root of all this is still a variable idle and it goes GUG when I step on the gas sometimes. The engine gags. If I let up on the gas it idles again (albeit strangely). Eventually it will accept throttle input and go again and the idle settles down.

The consensus here was "vacuum leak", given all of the other things I've already swapped with a known-good '90 parts van.

cc a private reply please - I'm on the digest list. --
