    Nice you got it sorted. I didn't even know you had problems, remember you can always email for advice.

    Also to those spreading misinformation, you can run 55# injectors on motronic no problem. 24# is way too small for a turbo application too. If you are talking about running X size injectors working without a tune (a size that is not stock) that's just retarded and you might want to look at hogans goat.

    well, I still haven't received my new injectors even though I paid extra for getting them expedited... But I just read a thread on the other forum that mentioned the TCM dial of the WAR chip not reading the right tune,I ran outside and switched my tune to the #4 position which should of been a tune for 19lb injectors and the car started right up and idled with out me giving it any gas......... it didn't even smoke, as soon as I touched the throttle it died and then my battery died when I tried to restart it. but I'm guessing this means that the TCM was giving the car the wrong tune the whole time:( I still needed new injectors but I'm glad I figured that part out. The thread mentioned position 4 giving tune 1 and it seems to be right on now.

    My battery was almost dead. Brand new injectors. New fuel lines. After it started up the first time it didn't have trouble starting again. So no, I don't think so ;)

    My car had the same problem...it wouldn't start when I first put in the new injectors. It took awhile and I had to recharge the battery but eventually it fired up after about 15 tries :(
    And you don't think that's a problem? LOL

    When I first put my car together many many moons ago I tried to run 30lb injectors with Motronic. I could barely get the car around the block. Report back, let me know if it works out for you.

    too late I already have the high imp. 30lbers coming in. I can always tune them down a bit with the WAR chip/

    30lb is too big anyway! Get some 24lb in there.
