Arrgh.
I replaced the injectors Wed night. No good. Same problem as before.
I then replaced the fuel distributor with a spare. Now, my frequency valve readings are more along the lines of what I would expect, but still no improvement in the car's running. Also swapped out the ecu just to see if anything might be wrong there. No improvement with that either.
Getting stumped now, but I'll keep plugging away at it. Eventually something has to show itself.
Thanks!
