Is it possible I didn't reset the ECU properly?
Does it take drive cycles for the ECU to learn the new air and fuel? I've only let it idle and taken it around the block a few times. Had it on the highway for about a mile doin 60mph or so.

At least they're easy to deal with... They're just sending another whole set to me. They asked how many injectors were bad and I told them two possibly three but it was hard to determine because I had to keep moving injectors to different ports and sometimes it would seem like things would change when I would unplug one and sometimes it wouldn't depending on the injector position I guess. I'll update when they show up... eBay shipping.

Got the new injectors and had to go through 3 of them to find the 2 I needed to swap in. Started right up and idles MUCH better than stock setup, also notice the better/smoother acceleration all around. Took about 3 or 4 drives around town to get the engine light to go out, but I was so relieved when it finally did. I filled up the tank and will post some MPGs improvements when I fill up again.
