changed injectors and now...
i changed my injectors now when i start my truck it idles way higher than it did before. i still have a fuel leak problem from the o rings not seating on one or 2 of the injectors and i cracked the top of one so it also has a small leak from it as well i have another cap on order to replace that one but what im wondering is is the high idle from air getting into the fuel line or from something else i read somewhere else that when the injectors are replaced that this will mess with the timing thank you for any and all help!

I don't think your return lines will let air in while it is running.
The new injectors returns the pop pressure to specs sometimes a worn ip is a little later poping the pressure than with the old ones. I don't think this would cause high idle though, somebody that understands these pumps better will chime in.
What code injectors did you install should have been g code.

Dawson creek B.C it was -47 on sat. morning and they said the wind chill was over -50 that night as well the ice fog was crazy as soon as the sun went down i had to have the heater blowing full blast at the front window because the faster i went the faster it would freeze up

-47..................
We where -14 last week and that was plenty cold for me. But then it was 50 today and made a huge slushy mess.

I will try that I was just wondering if maybe the new injectors had changed my timing at all I thought I read somewhere that that can effect it there is no chance of my truck starting right now because at the end of last winter my block heater decided to quit but at that point I no longer needed it anyway

I'm just saying lets eliminate the throttle cable. Also if it is that cold there then maybe the cold start solenoid is just keeping the idle up. Why did you change the injectors in the first place. If they were dirty or not hitting properly then this might be the the difference of it running normally now.

I think your first thing is check the high idle solenoid.
Unless you were driving with a winter front completely closed, my guess is the coolant temp was low enough for the high idle to still be on.
