my number five fuel injector went out and i would like to know should i replace all six on my 90 sohc now or just the one, and also where can i find some?

 

Replacing all six is gonna cost you lost of $$$. Replace the one that is bad. Most people recommend buying new ones instead of the rebuilt ones which of course most peole dont lisdten to because rebuilts are cheaper. I went with a rebuilt one and it was fine for a day but now it is acting up.

For new ones check http://internetautomart.com/ he has a link for them. I got my rebuilt one from DirectAuto.com . It was $35 plus a $12 core charge. I got the Python rebuilt injectors. It comes with a lifetime warranty but If it craps out I am just gonna go with a new one instead and save myself the time to change it again.

 

rebuilts on the 89-91 VG have a 50% defect rate.
unfortunately as stated above new one's are pricey.
I know that when I did my VE's injectors the rebuilts crapped out and I just started to replace them with new one's. I've replaced 7 injectors so far.

oh, and last night I added them to my own site as well.

 

You might wanna check that page. I get this error message when I try to go to it.


error 404: File not found

The document you requested is not found.

 

it should work now, I had a captilization problem.

 

I've bought 2 from directauto.com. One lasted about a year, the other about 2 weeks. They supposedly have a warranty, but I haven't had much luck with that.

 

so your saying i might as well buy new ones or at least a new one because rebuilts just go bad anyway

 

dang, I was gonna get two rebuilt injectors for my VE but after reading all this it makes me wonder...

I didnt wanna go new on em cause I plan on moving states soon and wanna sell the car, but 2 weeks???? damn...

 

Nissan has the worst rebuilt injectors.
Something in the design makes them darn near impossible to rebuild correctly.
I am saying that from experiance, not just because I'd rather sell new ones (rebuilt has more profit)

 

I hold my breath as I ask this question, but how do you test the injector; listen for a ticking noise while running, use some type of test meter or check ECU for code???

 

check resistance across the 2 terminals. Should be 10-14 ohms (I think)

 

That's my opinion, anyway. The only other suggestion I can give is to pick up some used ones on eBay. Hit or miss, but I've been able to pick up some relatively low mileage ones for $60 a set. Again, they're used, but I'm willing to take a chance for $60...(because I'm poor)

In fact, that's how I solved my last injector problem- pulled the POS reman one out and dropped in one of the used ones (after I ohmed it of course) and it works like a champ.

 

60 dollars a set is much more reasonable than 100 each. i will check that out. Thanks.

 

it may be cheaper, but they still are no better than a reman set. you don't know if they had problems or what.

 

thats true. i ended up just buying a brand new bosch from the local bumper to bumper

 

How much did they charge you?

 

140 dollars

 

OUCH! that's too much

 

yes, but they had it then and the guy told me lifetime warranty and its the best injector made for the car, so....
i am having trouble getting the new injector in to the fuel rail. I did not take the rail off, but would it be easier to get it on if i take the rail off?

 

only 1 company makes new injectors for our cars.
so you just bought a worthless warranty
