Did the injector swap...and WOW!
Volvo injectors, the 850 and the 80 if I remenber right. I just did they from the 703 and checked the ohms and rebuild them but didn't do a flow test like I should of, make a noticable difference in idle but I also adjusted tps, cleaned iac, and iat. I still have a rough stop idle but I think its from my mounts since they are poly.

Yea so far they have worked well, only have had them on for about a week with not as much driving as I usually do. Its seem to have the idle smooth out and throttle response to be better, mpg wise I don't know yet haven't filled up on this tank yet since swap and are about 110 with 12 gallons left I think gauge don't read right till empty and light comes on then I know I got 5 gallons left.

Bad idea to keep the stock injectors on a 1988... metal center section comes away from the plastic parts and you get a high pressure fuel leak on top of your exhaust manifold.

I never really checked anything, but I thought the Ford "yellows", were OK. In any case this is long and rambleing, but has a number of positive testimonials. > https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f2/199...r-swap-163105/

Thanks! Once again, great info. You didn't mention you might be able to sell some! With the clip nut, the matching flow and (ohm's) resistance, and experience a number of us have had, the 290 155 746 is good for 87-90 Renix Jeeps.
I'm not gonna bend my noggin changing CC's to Lbs. off the flow chart for the others at this time!
Divide CC's by (about)10.5 to get Lbs.

With my limited knowledge here, I'm not sure a couple of ohms makes much of a difference. 14 instead of 16 might mean a little more current through the ECU. It's rare the transistors that handle that current fail, but they do fail, at least sometimes.
18.5 Lbs/Hr, 16 ohm with a clip-nut and EV-1 connectors is good for 87-90 Renix Jeeps.
A slightly higher flow, like the 703's will be "trimmed" out fine by a good 02 sensor. Until the 02 kicks in it will be rich, and being rich will not help it warm up. (my first 10 minutes is steep down-hill).
