1997 F250 problems

I have an F250 titled 1997, suspect was built in 1996. It has the 5.8l EFI engine.
Recently rats chewed up injector connector wiring of #3 & 4 injectors. The wiring was shorted out on these two injectors. The engine would run, but only on 4 cylinders.
I have since replaced the connector wiring. The engine still runs the same as it did, (4 cylinders only), before replacing the wiring. No improvement at all.
I have re laced the plugs, plug wiring, distributor cap and rotor and the ignition control module without success.
Help would be greatly appreciate.
Thank you, Jerry

Hi Jerry,

Your 1997 F-250 is a HD (heavy duty), which uses the old body style. The Forum you are in here includes the 1997 F-250 LD (light Duty), which uses the body style of the new-for-1997 F-150.

If you can, please edit your post to delete it, and repost in the proper forum for your particular truck, which is:

1987 - 1996 F150 & Larger F-Series Trucks
1987 - 1996 Ford F-150, F-250, F-350 and larger pickups - including the 1997 heavy-duty F250/F350+ trucks

Which can be found here:

1987 - 1996 F150 & Larger F-Series Trucks - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums

I know it's a bit tricky, the 1997 F-250 HD and 1997 F-350 are tucked away in a 1987 - 1996 Forum that use the same chassis. You're not the first to do this...
