Are you sure its the injectors that are spraying that much fuel? It could be a blown out fuel pressure regulator gskt. The regulator is directly behind the injectors look and see if that is where your fuel is coming from.

Are both overspraying? I would get an ohm meter and measure resistance. If one is shorted more voltage will be drawn from the good injector thereby causing a rich condition. If I recall the correct resistance is between 12-16 ohms.

Also make sure you do not have the wrong vaccum line on the FPR.

Ok that shot my idea full of holes! Other ideas:skewed coolant temp sensor,map sensor or throttle position sensor? Do you know what the fuel pressure is? Maybe a bad fuel press regulator? Does the engine start up ok and gets worse as it runs? Is the service engine soon light on?

The stock setting is approximately 42 PSI.

If this is a factory throttle body setup it should only have 9-13 lbs of fuel pressure. You haven't switched fuel pumps on this thing have you?

The temp sending unit for the dash is seperate from the one for the computer. The one for the dash is located in the drivers side cylinder head(I think) the one for the computer is located next to the thermostat housing. It should be a 2 wire connector either brown and yellow or green and yellow. That is the one that you need to be concerned with. Check the wiring to it if it looks ok then I would suspect you have a bad temp sensor. Fix that problem first before starting on the map sensor. If an engine is running ratty enough it sometimes will set a map sensor code. Good Luck!
