02 Fuel Injectors

Is replacing fuel injectors a pain in the butt??

Does this involve removing the intake manifold off to get to them?

Any one have a guide for it?

I'm thinking of purchasing them OEM but they're fricking expensive.
Are there any other ones that are not OEM and work like a champ?

Car doesn't throw any codes but my car is wasting a lot of gas.


Thanks!

Start with replacing your primary o2 sensors if you never have.
They have a lot to do with MPG.
Are you smelling gas?..

I already replaced the Pre-cats sensors (front&rear).

One was throwing the code.

What's next?

Do you smell or see it losing fuel? Or is it just really bad fuel economy? If it is the fuel economy drop you might replace your knock sensor and see if that helps. If they go out they will generally throw a code (I think p0327 or p0328) but it won't turn your check engine light on. If the knock sensor goes out it retards the timing and you will see a significant drop in fuel economy with no check engine light.
Other obvious things to check would be air filter and fuel filter.
