Thanks to all for the injector cleaning help

[calimus at techography.net (calimus)]

Yep, did the vacuum leak checks after I replaced most of the vac lines and
tightened all the clamps down.  Tried using starter fluid to check for leak,
didn't find any, which is kind of a good thing.  I've checked the intake
boots really well, even swapped out to a spare set just to be sure, no luck
there either.

Grounding issue it could be.  I've beefed up the neg battery cable to a 2
guage one and I've gone through the other grounds and made sure they were
good and clean.  I do need to add some extra's though, just to be on the
safe side.  Whatever the problem is, it's bound to run out of places to
hide.  I'll find it.
