Do you think air in the lines would cause it to do that? I don't think so but I was told that that maybe the problem.

bleed the lines. just loosen the nuts on top of the injectors starting at 1 then crank the motor till fuel comes out for a second or two then tighten the line u can do #2 and 3 and 4 too all the way to #6 if u want but yeah its a good idea to see if u have air in the lines. wat injectors are u running just a thought they might be bad if everything else checks good. if it was me id pull the dv's and have them checked at a shop.

Its not the lines, more than likely they did a **** poor job cutting them and got the seat and they aren't closing or opening fully.

To lap them take them out, take a drill, put the valve in the chuck, put WD40 on the DV and run the valve in and out of the seat, may work but more than likely it wont.
