Replacement Fuel Injectors

[pace2006]

Ok. Amongst a few other problems found at the shop, they finally figured out why the car has such a rough start and the horrid stench of raw gasoline. I have at least one leaky injector. This is no surprise, they already have 84,xxx miles on them. But, I was quoted $150 PER injector for a replacement, as well as labor of diagnosing which ones have gone bad. I got a second opinion and they said that sounds about right. But I've seen injectors for much more reasonable prices on here, both used and new. Right now, I just want to know what my options are for replacements, OEM and aftermarket. What are some good brands for a stock weight fuel-injector? What are some brands that have worked well for you?

Re: Replacement Fuel Injectors

I have not got new fuel injectors yet, but I have had the leaky injector problem.
Eventually, I'll get new ones, but temporarily I just replaced the O ring which was the issue anyways.

Do you know if its your O rings? Cause you can replace those really cheap.

Although, since you'll have them out, probably best to replace them anyways.
But if money is tight, you can replace the o rings, if that is the issue with them leaking.

I have a set of stock injectors for sale right now. Only 45,000 miles on them.

$25 shipped.

BTW, injectors shouldnt go bad at 84k miles.

I may have to take you up on that. I went to the local NAPA store and found that I could get new stock ones for $86 per, but that's still a little high. I have to pay for a few other things first, but that definitely seems like a good deal.

And I'll have them check the O rings. Those were dirt cheap at Napa.

Re: Replacement Fuel Injectors

Check Summit Racing you should be able to get a set of Accel for around $250. They aren't that hard to change. I have a set of Accel that I think are 22# for sale if you're interested. If your car is stock it will run a little rich which is why I took them out of my 99 Firebird 3.8. They only have about 50 miles on them.

Thanks for the offer, but I got a spare stock set from another member. That and my car runs rich enough as it is with one leaky injector. Don't need anything heavier.

Re: Replacement Fuel Injectors

how are they working? its odd that Accel injectors make it run rich.. after all stock injectors are 22# also.
