Where did you get the rebuilt injectors? If they weren't done right, they could still be your problem.

You could try pulling them and swapping them with #6 & #5 to see if the problems followed the injectors. I'd suggest having a couple of sets of injector o-rings on hand for the older injectors when you pull them.

I got them from Pensacola. I thought about that as a possibility. They said I can send them back and they will test them, but I want to try everything else before I do that. I also thought about swapping injectors (I don't look forward to the work), but I need to get the orings. Now, if I swap 6 & 8, since 8 is AE vs AD, will that hurt anything? I don't know what the difference is in the injectors.

I was afraid you were going to say Pensacola. There's a reason they sell them so cheap.

For testing purposes, you won't hurt anything swapping the AD&AE. It might make a little more noise, but won't harm anything for a short test. I've read of people having to do multiple "warranty exchanges" with the Pensacola sticks.

The good news is, you'll soon be very good at pulling injectors.

My truck is running good now. My idle is smooth and it starts right away with no missing or hesitations.

I decided to get brand new injectors. I don't trust rebuilts anymore after this. After putting new injectors in the 7th & 8th holes, it runs great.

I must say, if I hadn't been able to learn from everbody else's experiences on this site, I might still be trying to figure out my problem. It is nice that you all are willing to share your knowledge. Thank You
