Hey Tom, didn't you have your injectors "rebuilt"? How much did they charge you? Did you notice a difference afterwards?

I'm getting about 14 mpg around town and it's pissing me off. New fuel filter, new O2 sensor, pretty new plugs/wires, new cap/rotor,new air filters.....I think i'm gonna go to the junkyard today and use my 5 finger discount to get some injectors. My stock injectors have 152,000 on them.

Yes, and no. I didn't have -my- injectors worked on; I had a spare set. (I need my car daily!) I sent 'em out to Rich Jensen, at http://www.cruzinperformance.com - he cleaned & flow-tested them for less than the price of one new injector! He also told me that he was able to get them to flow within a few percent of each other- more consistant than what the factory usually gives us. He also included (and installed) new O-rings and pintle-caps at no charge!

And heck yeah I noticed a difference... the car was stronger afterward- and through all types of driving, too. I definately recommend it! Actually I also recommend getting a spare junkyard set to send out; that way, you can still drive your car.

Thanks for the info Tom. I picked up 6 injectors yesterday from the boneyard cause I need my car daily also. Thanks for the link.

How much do injectors cost at the junk yard? I was thinking of doing the same thing.

 

Nothing if ya wear socks.
