Fuel Injector

hey i have to get my #3 injector replaced on my 91 gxe (vg) Can anyone tell me what color the injector is - my mechanic who has to order the replacement asked if it was blue, red, green , or even black? Any and all help is greatly appreciated

Thanks

if you pull the harness off of the injector there should be a colored dot... but i've not seen any dots on any of my injectors and I have 12 in total and will have 4 more on the way that i'm sure have no dots. doesn't hurt to look though. i'm pretty sure there are only two different dots also. let me check my fsm.

fsm says there is only a blue or black dot or a ring... not sure what they mean by ring.

thanks, my mechanic said to pull the harness and it should be right there... i didn't see one either but he swears there is... maybe they've been replaced once already.

can you let me know what your fsm says?

thanks

i've never noticed a dot on mine. they must vanish over time or something. according to fsm there should only be a blue or black dot or a ring... not what it means by ring though. by ring i wonder if they mean inside the fuel rail... you may have to take the injector out to find out.

goto a-1injectors.com to buy the injectors. One dot can replace the other one but not vice-versa
sorry can't remember which one though. Gotta call bob and ask em

Do yourself a favor - and don't just replace one injector - get them all. Save yourself a bunch of trouble.

It's about 3 Hours to change out 1 injectors - 4 hours to change out 6 injectors.

It's about 18 Hours to change out 6 injectors - one at a time. Not to mention all that goes with 6 trips to the mechanic
