Hello all, I am looking to replace my injectors. But what to get, do I buy remanufactured? or new? or have them cleaned? I don't have a lot of money to spend so it is an issue, something mid priced would be great. Anyway just want to know what's good, and what would be the best way to go. Any help would be great. Thanks!

South Bay fuel injectors is a board sponsor. I do not have a link right now.{sorry), but do a search. I have done business with them and they were very helpfull. No complaints. Randy

 

I have heard the ones made by accel work pretty good.

 

Why are you replacing the injectors?

Hello, thanks I'll try looking south bay up.

I'm replacing the injectors because I'm pretty sure more then one or two are leaking, the car has over 168,000 miles on it, and they have never been replaced, it also runs really rich and idles terrible, and when I start it, it blows blue smoke at start up. I also had to turn up the idle screw to get it to idle and not die, so i'm pretty sure it needs more than a tune up, which has been done with no change. So I think it's time for new injectors. But there are so many choices, not sure if I should have them cleaned or buy remans or new ones.

 

It sounds like it need more than just new injectors.
Blue smoke at start-up is usually worn valve guides and valve seals.

You could test for leaky injectors by using a fuel pressure gauge on the fuel rail.
If after running for a while, you then shut the engine off for about 15 minutes, then try to start and it's very hard starting, that's a symptom of leaking injectors.
