Sorry my bad, the only way is to replace all eight. You'll get tons of advice when it come time to start. Its a little time consuming but if you label bolts and take your time, it will go back together faster.

It doesn't sound too bad. I'll check them tomorrow and if so I'm going to order a set of the BIIIs.

My guess is it might be the O2 sensor when it goes into closed loop operation. On my 90 I found the wire had worn thru by rubbing and was shorting out, replace O2 sensor and wire.
Replace the stock Multecs also, mine failed and ruined the cats.

UPDATE: I checked my injectors today and all are 17 but one is 14 and the other i cant get a steady reading until it says 3, but i doubt that's possible.

that is very possible.. try to get a good reading, but a shorted on can read 2 or 3 very easily, if it is there is your problem

Have you checked ignition wires, plugs and fuel pressure?

I bought mine from Jon at FIC. He knows his business, and will help you with the install if you need it. He sends good installation instructions.
Plus his injectors don't come from salvage yards.

I have had to replace my injectors, too. One of them failed and stayed open. Fuel poured into the cylinder and overnight filled the block up to the spark plugs. Pull the fuse to the fuel pump. Yeah, I know, "Bet your engine is really clean inside, now". Probably, but I could have had a really bad fire, too. Besides, I don't know what to do with the 5 gallons of gas/oil mix I drained out!
I replaced mine with stock injectors. Haven't had any problems. But, I am going to replace the Catalytic Converter (with a high-flow model), as I'm afraid that some gas could have gotten inside and ruined it. Another reason to pull the fuel pump fuse.

Thanks for the advice man.
I just put a fuel pressure gauge and when i turned the ignition key to the ON position it read 30 psi. Once i started the motor it was bouncing around 30 psi. I think that's a bit low. Where do I start?

3 things you need. Air (unless you have a blockage somewhere, it should not be a problem. Spark (need a solid blue flame with no heat soak of the coil and other ignition components). Fuel (pressure and pulse width).
Can you have more than 1 problem? Sure. One way to see is to take a good spark plug and ground the threads. Disconnect a wire when it is running and connect it to this plug. Better yet, get a spark tester. You should see a strong blue flame at night.
Fuel. You need to have enough pressure. 45 psi is nice to have. Why is your's so low? Maybe there is an obstruction like a dirty filter, either in the tank sock or the actual fuel filter. Another problem is the fuel pump. Is it getting enough current? Is it weak?
