I replaced my fuel lines and injector seals today.  Used the kit from
Van-Again.  Very satisfied.  Thanks Ken.

I am having problems with poor idle.  Rich.  Runs well under load.  As part
of the clean up from my fuel line job I started the van (84 1.9L digijet).
It ran lousy, but started.  I raced it up.  It sounded better running fast.
After about 90 seconds I saw the problem.  I FORGOT TO CONNECT HALF OF THE
INJECTORS !!!  The two injectors on the drivers side were not connected
electrically.  These things must be leaking seriously for the car to start
and idle.  I will test all 4 per Bentley.  I am thinking this may be why my
van idles rich but runs well under load.

What is the fix?  Replacement is pricey ($46 ea for rebuilt from bus-boy).
Anybody recommend a fuel cleaner they are impressed with?  I will change the
fuel filter.

All suggestions welcome.  Thanks.
