One thing of note, IIRC this is an early car (90 or 91) with the 3.6
electronics. If that's the case, there are two injectors per driver, it's
not a true sequential EFI. So, if one is held open, another will be as well.
To second what someone else stated, find someone who is either very
knowledgable with the car, or someone who is very willing to spend a good
deal of time with it. Might end up being both.
HTH,
Tony
