Re: can anyone help

Welcome to TGO. There's a lot of help and info here, sometimes finding it can be half the battle.. In your quest to learn more about your car and the TPI system, rather than supply you with the answer I'm adding a link to a site you should go to and read up on. There you'll find many answers and lots of useful help aids without lots of .02 cent opinion. Good luck

Re: can anyone help

A for "305 TPI injector size" didnt find anything? They're 19lbs injectors. For a stock engine, leave them alone. 19lbs is just fine. You wont need bigger unless you put in nitrous, a blower, or put in a bigger engine.

Re: can anyone help

Get an ohm meter and measure the resistance of each injector. They're supposed to be more than 14 ohms when cold or warm. Anything less than 12 ohms when warm and its a bad one.

Did you check them hot ? I just replaced mine yesterday with Ford injectors and wow, what a difference.
The stock ones suck a$$

And 15.8 to 16.6 is the actual spec
