How and where do I ohm out the fuel injectors. I suspect that my upper power loss is due to injectors,

If I could post the dyno chart you can see the big power an torque dip over 5k

get ohm-meter and ohm across the 2 contacts on the injector where the plug goes, you should see 10-14ohms

OK thanks, seem to have a problem removing the plug into the injector, there is a metal retainer clip on the connector, any suggestions on removal of the connector

The old style has a metal clip around the bottom. Be CAREFUL! You can gently pry it over the retaining tab in the front, but the injector connector is likely very brittle and can break. You can also remove the metal clip, but that is easily dropped and lost.

Helpful tip is to purchase an little extension magnet, size of a pencil with a magnet on the end. Hold this next to the clip so when it pops off it doesn't fly into space.

Lol, I just went into the back of the plug with long thin needle attachments on my multimeter.
