Default Fuel injector questions?

How much do they cost a piece? How hard are they to do myself? :confused:

Price run from $180 to $300 for a set of 8. Time to change is about 2hrs if you have taken off the plenum and runners before. Double that if it is your first time. :)

Don't do just one. They need to be balanced and have the same rate of flow. Pull them all and send them for service or order in a set and send yours back for the core charge.

Thanks for the advice. I think I will run them for now. I have a slight shutter at idle even after plugs, wires, cap, rotor. I worsenes over 200f but nothing bad.

Replacing the injectors made a ton of difference in my idle. Now have it down to 550 and smooth. Was having to run 650-700 to keep it running.

You can have all nine of your injectors reconditioned & flow tested by Rich at Cruzin Performance for around $8-$10/injector with 48hr shop time.

A link is provided on my site, in my sig below.

I bought a set of 24 lb SVO (Ford) 'jectors off ebay and installed them on my 91.
Took about a week.... as I had to C&P (clean and paint) every little thing I took off it before I'd put it back on.
All bolt heads painted and pretty,all parts clean and shiny.....
Sure looks great now, though.

Replace the water pump and installed an AFPR while I was in there.
Ported the plenum and put on a set of ASM large tube runners too.
