March 16, 200421 yr Author comment_72789 I pulled all the injectors and they all seem to be atomizing the gas pretty good. Like I said I was more concerned about the rate of flow considering that they may have come off of a turbo ZX. Today I pulled the distributor and broke it down to the component level. It was pretty gummed up so I gave it a good cleaning. The bearings are tight and all it's balls are still there. I did notice that even though the plasic plate and balls are in place that one of the 3 wings on the plate has separated from the plate. I' not sure if anyone sells a rebuild kit for this? Anyway I gave it a little oilin and put it back together. I will see if works a little better tomorrow. Thanks everyone for all the great info, but I'm still waiting for a "holly $^!# I forgot that" solution.

March 16, 200421 yr comment_72937 The turbo injector have a higher rate of flow, so you can't mix and match with the N/A injectors. If you want to run the turbo injectors you can use the turbo AFM with the guts of your N/A installed. As you have it now you run the risk of running lean in the one cylinder with the N/A injector- this of course will happen if you try adjusting the stock AFM to compensate for the higher flow injectors.

March 16, 200421 yr Author comment_72943 Thanks Organdoner. That's what I found out last night. The turbo injectors have a flow rate of about 100cc's higher than non-turbo. I guess it's back to ebay. To top it off my distibutor pretty much fell apart today. Oh yeh don't forget I'm still trying to find my muffler.

March 17, 200421 yr Author comment_72946 Thanks Tomohawk, that was a good link. It pretty much told me that I need a new distributor. It's hard to troubleshoot this problem any further until I first get a distributor and then we will see if the that was the problem or will the injectors still haunt me.
