Could a bad/dirty injector be the problem? I did replace the small screen filter and o-ring on the base of the injector when I did the rebuild.


I will keep you posted on the results and please keep the ideas coming

TBI injectors are not known to fail often, but when gummed up with old fuel residue will stop squirting fuel. Ultrasonic cleaner and replacing screens usually does the trick. A stuck injector may cause lean condition. Dirty injector may cause rolling idle condition as ECM tries to compensate for unstable fuel delivery.

Yes, TBI fuel pressure test set should be available from any parts house. Ideally you want to see fuel pressure at all times - just incorporate fuel pressure gauge into your fuel system with a T. First things first. Check and verify.

Going to Pomona swap tomorrow.
