injector #8

ok my 1996 has 256k on her and ive had stage 2's from jim for about 20k miles. had an sputtering issue a month back. come to find out the fuel oring on injector #8 blew. fixed it and shes been running fine for about 1k miles.
now the truck is doing the same thing again.
my fear is that it blew again. if it did...what would cause this to happen?

maybe im wrong with the oring issue.
my truck will start to sputter when the oil temp heats up.
no power at all. its a 5 speed and it can just about make it up a slight incline.
no CEL

That kinda sounds like a HPO issue.
Do you have a way to see ICP psi and IPR % ?

Yeah iirc the ipr o-ring can be bad but only symptoms show when the oil is warmed up.

Someone should confirm/deny that for me.

You should have 70psi all the time. Your pump is going bad or you have a leak.
