Fuel injector problem
I decided to try to find the cause of my rough idle and intermittent backfiring. I figured the backfire was probably due to too much gas so I decide to check the injectors first.
Got out the FSM and my ohm meter. The injectors read 6.9 @ #1, 15.9 @ #5, 15.8 @ #7 and the rest read between 13.0 and 13.2 ohms. The FSM indicates that they should read between 10 and 14 ohms.
With money being a little tight at this time would it be acceptable to change out #1 now and then #'s 5 &7 later?
The existing appear to be the originals. What would be a fit match for replacement of the bad ones?
Well atleast I did find the cause of the rump, rump rough idle.

Ben, it's your car you can do what you want with it
if you were near i would send you some used injectors but
i'm in Southamerica, if you will take the time and effort to do the
injector swap and kept some of the originals there , they can
fail you again any time, do things right , do the job just once.
Call Jon , you can get a nice set for a great price !
If you don't want to spend any $ maybe some member can
donate a good set of injectors for you . Just my two cents !

I would prefer to do all on the one side when I have the rail off, however, as I am getting ready to retire in December I am limiting expenses as best I can.
