Default 1994 WRX Has a flat spot

Hi there i have a 1994 wrx, installed new injectors, para fuel mod, and fpr. Was all ok. A few days ago i noticed one of the injectors was leaking bad. I took it out and the large o ring was split. I changed it and put it back in. It solved the problem, but now i have got a flat spot at about 2500 rpm. Its mainly noticeable when trying to hold revs steady on motorway. Just wondered if anyone had any ideas. I was thinking of resetting ecu to see if it makes a differences. Hope someone can help. Thanks

i just wondered, i thought seeing i turned the fuel pressure down that the injectors would pulse the fuel at the same rate as the old 380cc. Thats fair enough thanks for the replies people. I knew i could rely on this forum for feedback.
