Recycled Injectors?

92 Maxima GXE, VG30E black dot

I'm looking for feedback on whether to buy new injectors from the dealer (2 @ $120ea) or pick em up at the wrecking yard (6 for $75). Any thoughts on this? If they spec out on resistance and they visibly look undamaged, they're good right?

Also, question on the ohm check. 2 of my injectors were bad. While checking the other 4, two of those go right to 12.0 ohms, the other two seem to jump around, then settle at 12 for 5 seconds or so, then jump around again (sometimes that is, other times they go right to 12.0). Are these possibly faulty as well?

Thanks,
Carlson

get reman or rebuilt injectors. at least they will last longer than the junkyards and cheaper than OEM.

Recycled Injectors?

I put "NEW" injectors in to my '91 that I bought from Shuck's. Later after having problems, I found out that they were "NEW, USED" injectors (reman). I forked out for new aftermarket, and have not had a problem, since.

The other option is if you can find a shop in your area that will rebuild the ones you have. If they do it right (you can ask them about this) they will test them on the bench before they give them back to you. Then you KNOW that they are working correctly before you put them back in.

I replaced a bad injector with a rebuilt one and (knock on wood) haven't had any problems. I got it from Parts for Imports, PFI, for $68.
