<div>Aha! Good bet that's it. My new injectors didn't come with o-rings, so I took them off the old injectors. I tried to be as careful as I could. At least I've got extras. What kind of lube is appropriate? </div>

<div dir="auto">Sounds like you nicked/pinched a lower o-ring when reinstalling the injectors. Pull them back out, give 'em a good looking over, and use a coating of lubricant when putting them back in.

Ok, I spoke too soon - car is clearly running better, but still drinking gas through a fire hose and still dumping raw fuel all the way through the engine and out through the header gasket. I expected the new injectors to fix this! Will check #4 plug again
and then dive into diagnosis.

<div>Installed new injectors and fuel filter over the weekend, problem solved. Idle is slightly rough so there's a little bit more diagnosis to do - now to see if my s**t fuel consumption goes back to normal!<br>

Josh Palmer clued me in to some Bosch injectors that were on closeout for $25 each, so I just ordered new injectors - that's the same it would cost me to have mine sent out for cleaning, and there's no guarantee those would all be good. Some hose pliers are
on the way so I can replace the fuel filter again, and after that all should be good. Well, except for the list of ten other minor things that have been invariant for ten years :)

<p>Sorry for the late reply, but I was going to say that a stuck injector sounds most plausible. A properly working ignition won't be able to light off the mixture, and you'll get the fuel running down the front if the head gasket isn't perfectly sealed.<br>
<br>
Congrats on the Saab, and for getting the SE-R back on the road after such a long wait. I have had rod knock enough times to know it when I hear it, and at one time I was overly sensitive to the noise and found a minor rattle at ~5k RPM that I started to worry
about. After a few months, I finally narrowed it down to a loose alternator pivot bolt! =D<br>

<div>Update: Injector #4 was stuck open. No idea how that happened, but when I replaced it the problem went away. Good!
