Well, the guy I bought the car from parked it after the trans went bad. I had just (the week before) changed the oil, changed the trans fluid and filter, and the hoses and belts. I also remember adjusting the valves sometime before that. I don't remember the engine running rough the times he stopped by, or had me work on it.

The previous JY engine had a dead cylinder, so that is why I put the present engine in. However, driving the car, it feels just like it did with the old engine.

So OK we've got injectors ticked off the list.
Do you want to try the other things?
It is a bit of fun if you have the time / energy / willingness
Yes it is fun. I guess that is why I browse the DD forum EVERY DAY (sometimes several times a day) to try to help out those with less experience (you do the same).

Why didn't I think about that! I should check the #2 fuse. You are a genius!
