At over 200K, I don't know if they are the original injectors or not, but how long do they typically last?

I'm thinking of just buying the new o-rings kit becuase the injectors themselves are about $120 each.

The injectors only dribble when the engine is running, but not when just the key is on.

I replced the fuel meter cover about year ago.

I'm pretty sure I just need new o-rings, but to TBI injectors really last 200K with no problems?

How does the car run? It is very normal to see a conical shape to the TBI injector spray with the occasional drip.

Phantom Champ

It runs fine, but a little rich. No trouble codes and it backfired once last week, which is why I checked the injectors.

These injectors are pretty tough. If they give a good spray pattern when you snap the throttle open then dont worry too much about it.

Phantom Champ

Yeah, the spray pattern is looks good. I'll just replce the o-rings.

Yeah, I'd just get the TBI rebuild kit with the 2 sets of o-rings and the filters and it should seal up good. When I tried to use old o-rings, they dripped at idle pretty bad. Get new o-rings and grease them up before installing them and you should be good to go.

Definitely do the rebuild kit they are like 30 bucks or something. Take that bad boy apart and clean it all up. Helps a little.

mine was doing pretty much the same and it was the o rings...while youre at it either replace or clean the filters at the bottom of the injectors .that'll help also...whan you take the inj. out pull up and give a slight twist to break loose they will be tough but they'll come out...and like stated before use a little lube(motor oil)to grease up the o rings before installing them...I promise you will tell a differance...(while you have the top off turn your fuel pressure up about 2 full turns and advance your timing a little...done it, it helped mine out tremendously)

If you get a good rebuild kit it will come with all that crap even the filters for the injectors.

Nobody around here has the rebuild kit or the o-rings in stock. I may ahve to order it online. Where did you guys get yours?

I went to Autozone a few minutes ago, having the part # is a big help, thanks.

After I told him what kind of car I have, the genius there told me the biggest engine that came in my Firebird was a 3.1 V6. His computer screen said "Sunbird" on it. I just left, I couldn't handle it.

I'll try Kragen or somewhere else tomorrow.

Looks like Kragen will have it, but in that picture, it looks like there is only 1 o-ring.

give me about 5 minutes im going to try and help you out...be right back.

Phantom Champ

No rush. Thanks, buddy. I'm from TN originally.

Don't forget to put ATF, yes Auto Tranny Fluid on the O-rings when you install them. The Rebuild Kit should tell you to do this, but it is crucial for proper sealing and longevity of the O-rings.

Phantom Champ
