I have an injector that is leaking gas. I've double checked the fuel lines, so i'm pretty sure it's the injector. So, I don't want to pay ~200 for a new one... I have a number of 'extra' ones lying around, but i'm not sure they even work. Any easy way to test them? I heard something about a 9v battery method... what do I look for there? Otherwise I'll have to hook them all up and start the car... see if they spit fuel... but that can get messy. Now, if I do in fact need a new one, and I want to hunt evilbay / etc, what other cars used the same injectors? Thanks! |

First off the whole set of injectors only costs $135.00
That is 34 per piece. What I would do is take them all out, soak them in a good quality FI cleaner...I use the whole bottle and leave them overnight fully imersed. Then, take them out and put them all back in the the fule harness, but do not put any of them into the intake manifold. I put them all into seperate glass jars (I use baby food jars) Take the coil wire off and turn the motor over for about 30-45 seconds. Then I measure the volume of fuel in each jar... If that passes, you might have a rubber fuel line leak...I mean the line that goes from the injector to the rail.. The original injectors have than line held on to the injector with a compressed fitting... Remove that hose and attach a new hose with a hose clamp and that shouldfix that leak. Good luck. Rich |
