Hi I missed the first part of this conversation so I may be off base here. If this is a K-jetronic type system there is no duration of injection, it is pressure regulated. More air flow (fine tuned by O2 sensor and other sensors) means more pressure which causes the injector to flow more. I would suggest tuning the mixture as it appears to now be beyond the range that the O2 sensor can correct for. If it is K-jetronic you need a 3mm hex key (I think) and a tiny adjustment makes a large change. > > >Pressure regulation assures efficient operation of the injectors.
