Okay so after 2 and a half hours of wrenching I finally get the dang injector out. Its obviously the original becuz I have never seen an injector be so stubborn. So I got it replaced and while I was at it I noticed that the hose going to the aem cold air intake was kinked bad so I removed it and cut it to size. It starts and runs pretty good now but I did recognize one odd thing. Whenever I accelerate or decelerate (in terms of rpm up or down) when the tach hits between 1000-1300 ( sometimes a few hundred rpm more depending on how hard i rev it) it seems to change its note ever so breifly (almost like it bogs) and slow its decent/accent. Once it gets past that it is back to normal. I thought maybe the idle or timing might be a tad off but idk.

Any help would be great

Check your engine grounds, I had a similar problem when mine (towards the back of the head and runs to the firewall) had rotted through.

You also might have a lazy O2 sensor or something, or your map is still kinda funky from the bad injector. Try unplugging the ECU for 10 mins or so to reset the ECU.
