I think I see what you mean. How can I find out which injectors will swap into my engine? I have tried searching that online, but never seem to get any understandable results. All technical way over my head stuff. I guess what I need then is a modern 4-hole injector from something else that works in the 2.3L.

FWIW I read an old post here by a guy named Olympiads. I think that was his name. He was saying something to the effect that it might be better to have SMALLER injectors running at a higher pressure to better atomize the fuel. It makes sense to my limited understanding. Getting a finer mist than I have now has to be better and I would really like to find a way to accomplish it.

As for running rich (or lean) won't the O2 sensors help bring that back into tolerance?
