So you replaced the injectors? Where did you get them from? I have come
across some that don't fit quite right and I had to shim out the lower seal
to get them to seat tightly. You may also have a bad one or  while working
on the system you got some dirt or rubber pieces in there after the filter
and fouled one of the new injectors. BTDT.

I just replaced all of the fuel lines except above fuel tank and all 4 fuel
injectors. Injectors all have new hoses and connectors. Now when I start the
engine wether the engine is cold or hot it stumbles for the first minute or
so. Just like it is staving for more fuel. If I accelerate the engine for a
minute it runs great and will idle nice. I checked the TPS for a clicking
sound just off idle and also wide open all with engine off. No sound. My
hearing isn't the best!
I do have a hum on the idle control valve with the ignition on. The fuel
injectors don't seem to be seated really tight. Does the metal bracket that
holds the injectors in place needs to be bent or readjusted so the injectors
are held super tight to the engine? Does this affect the start up problem? I
also noticed that the fuel pump seems to be making a new noise. Could this
affect the problem? I didn't have this problem before.
Any information or help would be great.
