I wouldn't think new injectors would be at fault...
I would be more willing to bet the Uhaul IP has issues. NOT due to a poor rebuild, more due to shelf time... I didn't hop on the sale, because I prefer to deal with my local shop...they take care of me very well.
I'd bet that running some cleaner thru the fuel system will help clear out any kind of build up that may be inside the IP.

X2 on cleaning the threads on the injectors!
I used a dental pick set, the shop vac, and I threaded a gasoline-soaked rag in the each hole many times before installing. I ran out of brake parts cleaner, I started with that on a rag...then turned to the gas.

Finally I figured out my problem!!! I reaplaced my K&N air filter with a regular 10$ filter and idles smooth as can be! And noticeably less smoke when driving!! ...K&N I am not impressed

I know you've gotten the problem fixed but Pensacola injector quality seems to be hit and miss...quite a few guys have ordered from them and gotten rusty, carboned injectors in the packaging along with cleary remanned ones.

I had a very rough idle when warm. It was also shortly after doing all new injectors and a pump withthe install kit. I had one of the return lines split out so the culprit was air intrusion, even though the hose was only a couple months old
