If your mileage has dropped from ~20 to ~11 mpg, the problem is almost
certainly a sensor or wiring, not the injectors.  I'd suspect the O2 sensor,
but the Temp2 sensor could also be an issue.

How is the driveability?  Are you getting could of black smoke?  Eshaust
smell very rich?  Did this come on suddenly?
