Default Question about Fuel Injectors

I just bought a 1990 Coupe about a month ago. 68k miles and I've put about 800 on it since I bought it. It had a tune up at the dealership I bought it from - belt, plugs, cap, rotor, plug wires, etc.

I can not remember if they told me the fuel injectors were changed. They look new, but how can you tell, if you even can? I can see no identifying marks on them except for some numbers on one of the injectors.

Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this.

I understand that, however, I thought I recalled them telling me the injectors were changed and was just wondering if there is a way to tell.

Take a picture and post it if you want.

It's VERY expensive for a dealership to change injectors because they'd likely use the OEM Multecs. With labor, the cost would be over $1000.

Dealerships aren't that frivolous with their money.

Not the best (size) pic on the world, but I'm gonna stick with my original thought and say they're at least OEM. IOW, they look like factory Multecs.

Still doubt you got new ones.

PO of my car had an injector replaced when i bought it and they wanted like 750 to do one. So it's very unlikely they did it as part of reg maintinence.

Easiest way to tell, call them.

Thaks for the replies. I should have been more clear, the tune up was performed buy the PO, not the dealership. I called the dealer today and the PO did indeed replace the injectors, with what, I do not know but they are new.
