Yeah, I tried pulling on the cables and pushing the connector in - it
doesn't make a difference at all. The engine gets unhappy when I rotate
the injector. Just this one; not the other three.

Thanks.
What's inside an injector, anyway - is it just a solenoid valve?

well maybe it IS the injector itself. twist till it acts up, THEN wiggle
connector
yeah, plus screens, a pintle and an orifice.

OK, tried this - no difference. I'll probably get to removing it Monday
night. It seems like there are a couple of specific angles where it
doesn't work; rotating it halfway between those two angles keeps it
happy.
