Rough idle/gutless problem solved!!!!!!!!

First I want to thank everyone for the info you've shared on this site. I'll try to be brief. My rebuilt 22re had a rough idle in drive and seemed to lack power. Boy was I shocked (pardon the pun) when I pulled the #1 plug wire and there was no change in the idle. Turns out one of the metal connectors in the fuel injector plug had broken off. So I just Macguivered it by jamming a bit of a paperclip in there and boy does that engine purr now. I feel a strange combination of excited, relieved and stupid at the same time. Again thanks for all your help.

Schweet . Hopefully you won't have any problems with the paperclip. Are you planning on getting a new plug or whatever you need?

Yea, id like to replace them all but I'll probably start with #1 since its easier to access. I have it wire tied in so I think it will hold but I want to fix it.
