I don't think putting that fuse in actually "jumps" the FPR.  You may
have been getting fuel with the injectors off due to residual pressure.

Try it with the FPR socket "jumped" with a short section of wire between
the two larger slots.

If your injectors are original, they are certainly due for replacement 
anyway, though.  $56 each is not too bad, especially if that's with the 
new green viton seals installed.  I doubt you could find them much cheaper.
