used, junkyards...etc

I have 1jz inectors that you could have them, rail, and regulator for $20, but i dunno if they work, or how close they are flow-rate wise.

some places that sell aftermarket will do a bench flow-test. . .
not sure if they do it for oem's, but if not any place like that should do, and it's fairly cheap iirc.

Problem fixed. Ends up that a coil was intermittent under load. Took a master mechanic 3 hours to diagnose and replace a coil. Two other mechanics had given up on it. Thanks to all you who gave me suggestions! I now have a used MAF for sale that I bought from a member, thinking that was the problem originally.
