Re: 1HDT no power/surging

If you didnt have the problem before you had the injectors done up there is a good chance your injector pump is stuffed too. rebuilding your injectors normally increases the crack off pressure of the injector there for your pump (which is probably worn a bit if your injectors were) wont produce enou...
