Drove the car 5 mi home, same behavior as this morning (very slow accel,
rough running, etc). Took the top half of the intake off (#$&% NG-style
heads), took the injectors out, inspected - they all look ok, nice and
shiny tips - then did a spray test. Each injector went in a clear
plastic bottle, powered up the fuel pump, and lifter the air metering
plate. All 5 injectors sprayed nice even patterns, at roughly the same
rate. Swore for a bit, and put everything back together. Total time,
1.5 hrs.
Start it up, and it runs about like it did before I changed the ignition
components yesterday evening (still a little rough, need to get it tuned
I think, but MUCH better than driving to/from work today).
Replys to other comments from this thread:
1. I use mid-grade fuel, 89 R+M/2.
2. The injectors were replaced about a year before I bought the car, so
they're only about 3.5 years old.
3. No, I didn't pull codes. This car doesn't have the CEL, and I've
never had luck getting the connectors in the driver footwell to work.
Thanks for all the help!
