Okay, I finally got some time to work on Betabel today, and I made an
interesting discovery.. .

She starts up and runs and sounds okay, and when you give her gentle gas,
she revs up fairly smooth, but when you punch the gas, she goes:
"bleeaaauuugh" and "bogs".. this I have already stated.

The discovery is, that  when she is running at idle, and gentle
acceleration, if you yank #3 injectors elec. plug, it doesn't change a
thing. If you yank any of the others on the other side,  the engine sputters
notably. If you yank # 4, then the engine only slightly changes. (I'm
yanking them out one at a time, and leaving the other 3 in..just to clarify)
 So, this would seem obvious to me that #3 injector is bad, and possibly #4
too...

My question is,  Could #3 being bad cause the bog at punched acceleration?
or would there need to be more than one bad to cause it. Or something
completely different? Maybe the distributor Inj. contacts on one side?

And, I figure that a bad injector would still be leaking enough gas for the
car to run (albeit poorly) Am I correct in this theory?

I would really apprieciate some of your wisdom on this matter, before I go
plop $150 on two new injectors..

Tanx,   Micah
