HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

Not really of that much importance but i do need some help. Was wondering if any of you gents could possibly help me out. i need to test my injectors and the only peeps around here is a three hour drive to do so. So question is does any one have a pop tester that would be willing to test my injectors for me or maybe i could rent it from you.......... either way i need to get it done.

Vernal isn't that bad a town and I know there are shops there. $41 is cheap to match injectors. Even if you did have a pop tester, do you have shims?

you really should consider just replacing them.you shouldn't mix different codes,and the odds of them being any good is kinda slim.they're cheap compared to the fuel savings your going to get by just putting a fresh set in.
