Fuel injector advice

Rotary#10 · 12-18-2008, 04:33 AM

its late and im tired but since my car still isn't running i managed to save about $300 bucks. now I am begining to think what should i spend it on... since i have noted I have flooded my car more than a few times over a period of a months and i've had fuel injectors in my car of unknown cond. Would it be a good Idea to send them off to Rc engineering for cleaning...? im begining to think its a good idea since i am dailying this car.. what ya'll think.. I thought i'd ask..

oh buy the way it still doesn't run and its too cold outside to work on it.. I have spark and air but i haven't check for fuel... Back to basics...

Check compression first. There's no sense in putting out money where it's not needed. IF you compression checks out send your injectors out to KG Parts. They're cheaper and they do a very good job. They cleaned out my injectors which had almost completely stopped flowing on the secondaries and only managed to flow about half of what they were supposed to be on the primaries. They cleaned them out and are still running strong (have been for a few months now though they recommend me not using them anymore).

I've sent all my injectors to them for cleaning and what not and they always do a bang up job.

If however you'd like some freshly cleaned injectors I have 3 S4 NA's... you'd have to put in some resistors, but it'd be cheaper than shipping 4 of your out for cleaning either way.

It only costs to get your injectors rebuilt for around 18-25 dollars an injector typically and it is a good thing to do since they are around 20 years old and may not have the proper spray pattern anymore amongst other issues.

Yeah, but at $300 I would ensure that I would get the source of the problem first and then see if there is money left over for the injectors.
