What kind of injectors? Did you change Your fuel rail and the FPR?

Have you done any other troubleshooting like the MAP sensor vacuum hose?

Blowing black smoke...........

Go poke your noggin under the hood and look at it. Runs from the throttle body to the MAP sensor on the firewall. You can't remove and replace the injectors without disturbing it.

Check to make sure you didn't break or crack the hose from the TB to the map, it is very easy to do. You shouldn't need a new one because of the new injectors.
And wish I knew how to test the FPR, but I don't sorry.

MAP sensor testing on this page: http://www.lunghd.com/Tech_Articles/...iagnostics.htm

The unit must have GOOD vacuum and all fittings need to be clean and not cracked. You need to check the MAP.

Fuel Pressure Regulator must be upgraded to accomodate the Bosch *703 injectors. Since you haven't mentioned what injectors you used then we can't really help any further than that.


A busted fuel pressure regulator will be visibly wet if you remove the vacuum line from it. This indicates that the membrane has ruptured.
