They are brand new Bosch reboxed as Accel parts.Being new they are better than cleaned used BTW. I would go for them if flow rate is close to correct.

BTW there is no such thing as a Bosch either. All Bosch injectors are generation labeled EV XX typically EV1 EV6 EV 12 etc.. no Bosch III or any similar labeling used by Bosch. I have sold a pile of Bosch injectors and obviously bought as many so not some end users version of urban myths...

No such thing as Bosch but you have sold a pile of Bosch and bought as many?

I'm just looking for stock replacements at this point to troubleshoot a over-rich issue.

Are those Accels close to OEM ?

My engine is all dogged out.... needs a complete rebuild. Right now. the Summit (Accel-Bosch?) part at $260/set makes the most sense. Anything more than that is overkill for this project. I don't even want to spend that much. LOL

Edit: I just need to get it running so I can get it to the inspection station right now.

All I see there is high end stuff. Not in the budget I'm afraid.

If you think FIC prices are high, check out Goodwrench. How does $150 EACH sound? LOL

Those are used... "Complete Rebuilt Bosch Design"

I'll pass. But Thanks. Introduces another variable into the troubleshooting equation.

Your call but I would do a pressure test and check your FPR vacumm line for fuel first. Brand new can be bad too and Jon tests them.
