I managed to get all the GP's out without pulling the injector lines on mine when I changed them several months back. It was a big PIA but not impossible nor did it take 2.5 hours to do and it was the first time I ever did it. It only took me about 1.5 hours with losing a couple of the nuts, trying to find them again and "bench testing" the old GP's included. 84300DT, please don't get the idea I'm saying you did something wrong here. I'm just sharing my experience. I had a small starting problem as well but changing the GP's didn't help. In fact the old GP's were still good and I guess I changed them for nothing. It still misses and I have to hold the accelerator pedal until it warms up. I'm looking into new injectors at this point.
