[MR2] <MKIIT> Running rich/ cold-start injector question

Hi all,

So, my new turbo runs quite rich, to the point of back-firing from time to
time. I have run codes and consulted the book. I haven't really started to
work the issue and have a question about troubleshooting the cold-start
injector. Is there ANY way to check/remove without removing the throttle
body. That first step in removing it - "Drain Coolant" - really bothers me.
I would really like to avoid the work that entails, but more so, the work
that refilling it entails. If anyone has any input on that, please let me
know. I know, it could probably use new coolant anyway, so if there are no
options, I'll likely do that. >sigh<

Also, the car has a JDM ECU. What are the advantages to this? Could this be
the cause of the rich condition?

AND: I need some parts that may not be available from the dealer (Aaron,
please let me know if they are). Immediately, I would like to get my hands
on: the lens for the door light on the driver's side, the entire assembly of
the plastic parts for the frunk, including the piece that goes over the
radiator (with clips would be really helpful), finally, I would like to get
the upholster lining for the trunk, with clips. Give me some prices and
shipping so that I can run it through my finance department. :)

Thanks!!
