Also, sorry to be a pain, do I need the special injector removal tool? or is there another way to remove these? I don't want to wreck these, they're pricey!

If I back off or counter clock turn the TPS a little bit, it will start and run smooth showing 1.6or7v. when i test drive it runs good for a mile or so, warming up, then backfires, spits and sputters and barely gets me home. Then I start all over getting same results, idle and runs fine in garage when cold. I've changed out and or checked out all sensors fuel pump plugs wires coil etc. My question is, could the Throttle Pos. Sensor be bad. Thanks for any advice. Wayne
I just replaced a TPS on a Honda Civic because it had a dead spot right off idle. They can be checked by watching the output voltage while slowly opening it. Can also watch the resistance, either way, works.

Shouldn’t need any special tools. Are you sure it’s not a stage 2 motor? There would be nothing external to tell you.

no, not sure. PO never said. I can tell you that the pushrods are non adjustable. Does that indicate stock?

Ok. so just to be clear. The push rods are also non adjustable in a stage 2 set up. Is this correct? Then I could go ahead and put the red injector in.
