Re: wrong injectors??

Bosch injectors typically have part numbers on them.

Example: 0-280-150-791

What are the numbers on the injectors you have? Once you have the number, you can find the injector specifications. There are several specification charts floating around on the web.

Re: wrong injectors??

Not sure why this is in the carburetor section, but the easiest way to confirm this would be to look at your O2 correction. It should be within the vicinity of a normal operating range. These original ECM's only have so much percentage area wise of correction, so a bin burned for 22# injectors will have little to no O2 correction running 22# injectors... unless something else is way off, of course.

Well, TPI is one of the types of "electronic fuel injection" used on 3rd gens, so let's just move it there.

Strange that someone would go through the trouble of removing the molded in part number off the plastic injector body.

It's not like it's a serial number off a pistol you'd buy in downtown Stockton.....

Re: wrong injectors??

there are no numbers at all on the injectors? We've been selling the 22lb bosch lll's for years. Never heard of a blue 22lb bosch lll. Too bad you don't have a number. Who knows...

Re: wrong injectors??

A picture might be somewhat helpful...perhaps someone might recognize the injector.

Re: wrong injectors??

without numbers it's going to be kind of difficult as there is a blue bosch lll that flows around 380cc
