Bosch replacement injectors use male spade lugs that are a few .001"s thinner than the originals. While this seems very little, it is enough to make the difference between a good connection and an intermittent one. CAREFULLY disassembling these connectors and tightening up the female lug A TINY BIT often cures erratic running problems. BE VERY CAREFUL AND METICULOUS!
