Well, I finally sourced out my problem, and NISTECH, the freakin man was right on the money. I checked resistance, and used the noid light to verify, and suprisingly, my crappy chilton manual showed how to use a void light.240 injectors (91-94), same as 93-97 altima injectors, use the same injectors. I went to the junkyard and snatched up more injectors just in case mine were a fluke.Well when I first went to put in the injectors, I just screwed them in, causing them to NOT seat properly, thus dumping too much fuel and flooding my motor. My O rings were not seated good.Well, I took it out, pulled injectors, and put them back in, making sure they seated properly.My car started on the first try, after unflooding my motor, lol.Problem is this, the idle is good, but sometimes it will become irratic and want to stall, other times it is ok.Can this become because the ecu needs time to reset itself?I mean, I did pull the battery before I worked on it?Also my plugs were fouled pretty bad, in which I sanded them down, since they only had 1k miles before this incident.The car runs strong and hard, however, could too much fuel, black plugs, cause my car to idle funny? I just sanded my oem ngk plugs down to clear the coating of carbon. The reason my plugs were wet was because of the excess fuel from the leaky o rings before.I heard it could be the air control valve, but this was never the case prior to me changing the injectors.thanks again for the help guys, truly a family here

Yeah you probably had some carbon build up take place. try running a seafoam treatment. ANd changing the plugs would be a good idea. If it were my car I would just upgrade to 60 or 100K NGK plats. yea they are 11 or 12 bucks a pop but I feel they are worth it.
