Default 84 covette crossfire injector issues

new to the forum and i just picked up an 84 vette crossfire thats not running right. at idle it runs like crap at 3000 rpms it runs fine till it goes back to idle. when i took off the air filter i noticed one off the injector wires were burnt right on top of the injector. so i started the car up and noticed at idle the one that has burnt wires is spraying full boar while the other looks rather normal... my question is where can i get replacement wires for those injectors or is there any other easier fix?

Thanks, Mike

You can go to the junkyard & get some replacement wiring off of any tbi car or truck, look for the 2bbl. type tbi found on 4.3L, 5.0L, or 5.7L engines.
Unplug both of the connectors to the injectors then prime the fuel system, no gas should be leaking from the injectors. If it is the they are bad & needs to be serviced.
