Message	That type of gas is almost all that has been readily available in a corn state like Indiana for a long time. I had one injector fail in 94 (although it ohm'ed in spec so I think it was an o-ring that failed but I replaced the injector anyway) and I replaced two more injectors in late 96 when I had my plenum pulled for another reason. The injectors I replaced were right at the borderline in spec at about 14 ohms while my others were at 12 so I replaced them as preventative maintenance. 148k on the other 3 injectors in my 1990tt. However, based on other comments perhaps I've just been lucky? :-)
