Yesterday i installed a new set of injectors on my 88, 19lb. After the install, it surges violently and i don't really have a clue as to what i can to to fix the prob. I am military, and currently stationed in Iceland, ( that means no good shops in site, these guys have never seen an 88). The question i have is since i don't have a mass air meter, is there anyway i can "reboot" the computer in the car to get this squared away? thanks

if you pulled the upper intake and replaced the injectors, make sure you do not have a vacuum leak - check all the injector o-rings on the intake side and see if your intake gasket is OK. Make sure the vacuum line to the MAP sensor is hooked up and air-tight.
