mine is the same as joel's non--flashable as it is still obd-1. i understand about all the mods and your tuning did.

little bit more explanation might help here. joel may remember i was having a lot of problems with the car after i bought it. it was a "challenge" for me as i never worked on a computerized car except for basics. after a lot of hair pulling and acquiring info from a number of sources i managed to get the car running half-way decent.

i was told by someone that was checking the car out at a cruise night and said the injectors were not the originals. as i tried injector cleaner and even did the cleaning that the car runs off the cleaner they seemed to me to keep fouling up. midamerica listed the 24# injectors for my car (and they were "on sale") and bought them. it was after i bought them i found out that the car calls for 22#. i called and asked and was told it would be ok to use them. i installed them and they preformed fine.

did you ever meet bubba? he must have owned the car before me as there were a lot of things that were installed backwards (gaskets) a vacuum hosed patched with electrical tape (which i didn't find until i changed the injectors. i guess you get the picture. as i never worked on  fuel injection systems either it was kind of new to me but understood the t/b let the air in and opened that up. took me three days to clean it up with all the build up in it. afterwards still had a problem with low idle and could feel sloppiness in the throttle body. i bought a new t/b thru ecklers which was 52mm instead of the origianl 48mm. it seemed that everywhere i looked thats all they were selling. car ran great after these two replacements.

technically it was done not to soup up the car but to get the car running right. i did have a problem with it running rich and thats when fic told me about ruining the c/c and saving money by not wasting gas.

the accels that i put in to replace the injectors that were in the car were the 24# injectors. after seeing the cruddy work that was done previously i have no idea what the ones i took out were rated.

i will be ordering a set of 22# injectors ( soon) as it appears that 24# is not ok to run the car off of. as for the 52mm t/b, i dont see a problem with that as i was always taught the more air is better (as long as it doesn't go to extremes).

if anyone knows someone that can use a set of accel 24# injectors let me know. a fair statement would be that they only have approx 1500-2000miles on them.

thanks for your help and anymore info is always appreciated.

Sounds good...if you do get the #22 from FIC, Jon will walk you through any problem you have...after I was done installing mine, he did a follow-up  call to me...just as a customer service.

Be sure to list your #24 injectors in the "for sale" forum here...keeping in mind that a lot of cars are stored until the weather clears, but a lot of work is being done while these cars are stored.
