grandprix104 Posted May 20, 2003 Report Share Posted May 20, 2003 I'm gonna replace my fuel injectors soon so ive priced them out at the local parts shops: Napa $90 apiece, Parts+ $70, AutoZone $70, JCwhitney $40 ( http://jcwhitney.com/product.jhtml?CATID=157346&BQ=jcw2 ) Does anyone know any cheaper places to try?? gmpartdirect.com doesnt have the part #. At JCWhitney they have several that say to multiply your horsepower (160 right?) by .45 and divide by cylanders (6) to choose the right flow rate or whatever. According to these instructions I need the 14lb p/h injector. However its saying in the example that a civic 4banger has 225 HP (wtf?) so at any rate which one is correct? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted May 20, 2003 Report Share Posted May 20, 2003 3100 should be 17#, 14 sounds too low. Honestly for cheap injectors, it's ebay. But they usually aren't 100% new. Why do you need them anyway? Might be cheaper to have yours tested, cleaned, and balanced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandprix104 Posted May 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2003 thats what i thought too. well my mechanic, the board, and i think they maybe whats making my car run not so well. Rough idle, rough exaust noise, loss in power, not as good fuel economy, obnoxious clicking noise from under the plenum, etc. etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted May 20, 2003 Report Share Posted May 20, 2003 I would at least have them all checked, because paying $90 each injector x6= 540 + shipping, and if that doesn't fix the problem, then it was a big waste of $. Worst case if you need one or two injectors, then just get the rest serviced. Did your mechanic ever check them or just made an educated recommendation?

grandprix104 Posted May 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2003 cant check em without ripping off the top of the engine and i dont have money to pay him the labor. How much do you think it would be to have all the injectors serviced?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted May 20, 2003 Report Share Posted May 20, 2003 I talked to someone on here (or 60v6.com) got them all cleaned and balanced for well under $200...might have been jon89le but not sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91GranSport Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 You're better off removing them yourself and sending them in to get tested. It's not that difficult of a job! cant check em without ripping off the top of the engine and i dont have money to pay him the labor. How much do you think it would be to have all the injectors serviced?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
