I seem to have an issue with my injector trigger points on 72 1.7L. All 4 cylinders seem to be running a little rich which I think is another issue, but 2 of the diagonal ones (2+3) are super rich, they totally blacken the spark plugs within a few minutes. I pulled the distributer and cleaned up the trigger points with some contact cleaner and they looked fine to me. It seems from what I've read that they are double firing? What would cause this? Wondering what I should be looking for when I pull the distributor again, and how I can test them once removed? They have 60k miles on them, would a new set be worth the $$? thanks!
