Love to hear what the collective brainpower says about this, because I
have not a clue about fuel injectors.

Coming from 5 years in a '76 Bronco and another 5 in a '78 CJ5, I don't
know which end is up in this van.  Use to be a time when a person could
find all the parts to his engine in the engine compartment.  I've got
batteries behind the front seats, I'm crawling under the carpet looking
for a washer reservoir and taking off the dash housing to get to yet
another reservoir.  It's like a freakin' scavenger hunt...
