Take a look at the two videos in this post:

Do the test as in the first video and hope it doesn't sound like the second video. If it cranks like the second one, injectors are not your problem.

No mine definitely sounds like the first. It starts and idles perfectly, just bogs down and smokes when you push pedal. Was told to buy a new fuel pump with that kinda pressures at idle, would a blue spring upgrade make that much difference with this type of problem? I really appreciate all the input.

If your not getting about 65 psi with the Blue Spring, there is something wrong.

Thanks Chet. I haven't done the upgrade yet. It's just 45 psi at idle w/o touching pedal. Just gonna go down tomm and get pump and spring upgrade. Guess pump from dealer is the way to go?
