Random Injector thread
I'm bored, and am without my vette (I sent my injectors in to Rich at Cruzinperformance).
It got me thinking, what has been the worst results anyone who has had their injectors cleaned/refurb'd been?
I expect 3 of my injector's to be bad, and 1 iffy. But am very curious to see flow results.
EDIT::::
Updated with my test results in post #6... I only had 2 good injectors appearently.

you sent in used injectors to be redone? if so is that cheaper than a new set?

A little cheaper. Though I was more concerned with maintaining factory fuel trims.

Rich did mine almost 5 years ago. Cleaned and flo matched all eight. Two were out of bounds so he replaced those two with two that did match. His cost for replacement was not much more that for cleaning alone. They are still running strong to this day.

My test results .
It seems as though 6 of my injectors were crap.
They all ohmed well though. So that test was just about useless for me.
I'm excited to get them back in to feel the difference.

Since a few of you seem interested, here's the link for Rich Jensen-
http://www.CruzinPerformance.com
I can't really recommend him yet, as I haven't re-installed the injectors yet- but so far so good. He provides a nice detailed step by step process of what he does (with pictures), is quick to respond to emails, and is flexible with payment methods.
