for some reason when the car is cold it will idle just fine in park or in gear but when it warms up it kinda has a miss and jumps 100 to 150 rpms irraticaly, the guy who did the tune said it was probably a injector sticking so i went too the junk yard and pull an exact set with same ohms and for some reason when i switched them out the idle dropped 100rpms, smells like a rotten egg kinda and the idle is more irratic now? any oppinions would be greatly appreciated

Well, your first mistake was getting a set of injectors from a junkyard. Take the plunge and get a new or reman set. There are a couple of vendors on this site that will set you up. Some things are fine from a junkyard. Injectors aren't one of those things.
