it seems that 1and 4 are lean, and 2/3 are rich. 2/4 are the ones added(dx to si) so its not a wiring prob. we traced all injectors back to the ecu, all checked out.
it vrooms to 1500 for about 3 seconds, then dies some times it puts out some times its just like you regularly turn the motor off. i hate ef's
