ok, so they ARE low impedance, like i thought all along. god this has been crazy. ill just use the dsm injectors like i was planning the whole time. by the way, my air/fuel ratio is 6:1 so suck it! (this morning i used 1/8 of a tank of gas going to school and back - about 6 miles round trip with very few stop lights/signs).

Dude, I think with AFR like that you could be killing small rodents that you drive by. I think you should get that fixed...

Wow... and I thought I had it bad... lol. I still need to lean mine out, but that's really bad. How does it run like that? Do you shoot flames every shift? :pface
