Injectors etc.

I have an 88 2.8. Problem is it is running very rough at idle and hesitating when I start it up in the morning (temp is not a factor. morning for me is 11am, and I live in FL). So far I am convinced that I am in need of new injectors, which I believe to be the main cause of the rough idle. So my questions are:
1. What injectors do you recommend
2. What other factors could be adding to my problems

Thanks

Why do you think your injectors are bad?

Best bet is to test them with a DMM and see if they are giving the proper resistance values.

Rough Idle and Hesitation could be lots of things. When was the last time you did a tune up? Do you have a good fuel filter? Is your TPS set right and/or working? How clean is the IAC passage way, and is it working? Are all of your Vaccum lines properly connected and free of cracks or splits? These are all things you should be looking at before you think about changing the injectors.
