My VIII was running poorly just off idle, for a while (maybe a month or 2) and did not turn on the CEL, I originally thought it was the EGR valve stuck, but after cleaning that it still ran the same.
A few days after cleaning the EGR valve, it finally lit the CEL, and it ended up being, 201 and 301 I think (misfire and injector circuit)
It ended up being the resistor pack.
mine looked just like the one pictured here.

one of the wires was broken off just like in the picture. I ordered a new resistor pack, I had some silicone laying around so I sealed the terminals on the resistors so they wouldn't rust and fall off again.
Car runs like a champ now.

I know this thread is coming back from the dead .... right about.... now.
There were 2 injectors that were clogged/bad. That was the only issue. I got some FIC injectors and EsEvo (Evan) from this board got me taken care of and I got retuned the same night. Thanks for all the help in the thread!

I used Lucas also, however the dreaded misfire came back. I swapped out the fuel pump, still misfiring. So I started to install my gauges and I noticed a vacuum hose was hanging, found out it was from the stock fuel pressure regulator. Plugged it back in and the misfire was gone.
