the pcm should not even need a reset but sometimes there is a startup issue that it will fix by being at zero and it can start fast learn mode in some but it will learn the new injectors by itself, but yes a reset could not hurt.
re gapping the spark plug that that is normal and fine and as long as it does fire and not factory defect its fine.
the throttle cables though - if you mean the part of the cable that hold the casing rigid to the block then yes that can and will cause it to not fully pull the cable like it should not allowing the air it needs in. and since the injectors will take the tps and rpm and load and a bunch of other crap into account along with the old map it knows it could cause it to do some weirdness, probably not the big issue but a factor.
ya ebay and amazon are the worst on everything but everyone still uses them for i have no idea why but i tried some 4 hole injectors and even buying name brand stuff still had one ticking intermittent and one was stuck open and never ticked so it was dumping fuel in, now since you say number 6 is easily the wet one if you dont have a stethoscope change 6 and say 2 and see if the wetness follows, if so bad injector, if it stays in 6 bad control of injector. number 4 might be slightly bad but hard to confirm if one is very bad
the plugs should be fine unless they are super sooty black or other buildup / damage and then funny enough soak it in gas for a bit and use a soft tooth brush to try and clean em
yours is running where mine did not but thats cause mine had one bank super rich and one bank super lean, its sounds quite similar to what mine did and although i got new injectors, to put mine in is a very tedious and many hour job so i left the stock single hole ones in. after i went back to those and spent about 30 mins in the driveway to heat the cats up and clean them it finally started working again so you may have to baby it for a bit if the cats got too much fuel in them just so it doesnt die by itself
side note for anyone else a flashing check engine light means imminent damage so usually dont drive it home then or for even 30 seconds BUT it seems yours went back to a normal steady light and then yes go for drive it home if you feel its okay, just a thing i have never found people to know the difference between flashing and steady light.
