    You said it has all new gaskets? Assuming work has been done recently check the vacuum hoses under the throttle body, back of the heads from one head to the other. These are hard to see and alot of people get it wrong at reassembly.

    Whay would the injectors affect the idle all of a sudden if they were fine before the job was done? It will be something that was not re fitted 100% during the job. Plug leads or vacuum hoses are my tip. Injectors will be fine
