How large an Email will that Email address handle PV? (Before I waste lots of time on dial up sending stuff...)

You need to get a scriber (or small flat bladed screwdriver) and remove the metal clips from the injector plug before the plug can be pulled off. The clips are a PITA to do and will go flying off never to be seen again.....
The injectors can be rotated too for easier access to the plug, you'll most likely find your's won't want to move- but with a little persuasion they should.

the injectors are still in the intake david.. but theres some wires the plugs that are off.. they came off real easy.. but theres some other wires that i am just stumpted on! like a wire that plugs into the top of the intake (red AND green one) that i cannot get off......

I was talking about removing the injector plugs with them still installed in the engine.
You'll find a lot of EFI plugs will have the metal clip like I said and until the clip is removed there's no way you'll be getting the plug off.
BTW You've got a lot more emissions crap on your engine than we've got over here! Even your EFI computer is different....

I think you should stop right now if you're already panicing! This is the easy part.
Use the force (oops... I mean manual)

But you'll never learn that way!
With the manual and the right tools most people should be able to do anything on their Feroza.

I was trying to be funny...... The dudes stressen' big time...
Just relax sunshine, read the manual, take your time, you do not want to screw it up. Must be very careful when playing with cranks and cams and heads etc.
