This was a fairly easy job just a little time consuming but well worth it now my max runs great and all my hesitation is gone!!!!
Just a little thanks to all members for all the info that can be found out here.
A guy in my neighborhood has a 93 gxe and was interested what I was doing now I may be getting him hooked on the .org!

Its good that you changed your injectors, since you changed em yourself how much did the entire change cost you?

dammit, sounds like I might need one or two new injectors. I'm going to the shop tomorrow, they're gonna check my injectors and replace a screw on the manifold or something like that..new exhaust but sounds loud cuz of broken screw.
Anyone know a where I can get cheap injectors...I already checked at Murray's and they said it was 134.99 and 165.99 for the green ones. Are there any injectors that offer better perfomance than the oem required ones?

oem injectors are better then the remanufactured ones.
they have a short life span,
i already had one injectors replaced once.
the remanufactured injector was gone after a year or so,
so don't buy remanufactured one,
either go with used or new if you can afford it,

the key code was in the glovebox too.
Just pull the lock cylinder and either swap with your old one or have the new one rekeyed.

If you're thinking i put your door on my car i didnt, its just that the lock cylinder on my car was broken on one side so it wouldn;t let the door open from outside, so had to replace it, but i still have my original whte door on.
thanks

I need to know which color dot your injectors have before I can go solid on the price.
But don't worry I'll hook you up

just to throw my $0.02 at you... If you're worried about your gas mileage so much, i wouldn't recommend performance (read: larger port) injectors.
Yes, you'll pick up a bit because you're pushing more fuel in, but you won't get that 29-30MPG highway you're looking for.
Now have my pennies flung at your head

What injectors did you replace them with? I went to the yard and pulled a complete set with the fuel rail on a wrecked GXE with only 89k. Car has been running great so far a year later, and I use Techron every oil change just to flush the fuel system out.

i picked up a set on ebay with fuel rail for about $100 shipped and i have had no problems with them. i did come accross a set on ebay that were NIZMO and were had much more flow tha OEM but they were for a VG30DE i have a VG30E. Not saying that they still might be on there but thought I'd let you knowe they exsist.
By the i haven't heard exactly why but every Machanic i spoke said do not mix and match if you are going to use siffrent color than stock use all the same. The ones i have on it now are blue top. Have no idea what that means but they work thats all i know
by the way any know what the diffrence is?

I've got at least three good used side-feed pink plastic top (no paint mark) injectors from my '89 GXE. No breaks in their plastic pintle tips and they ohm'ed out OK at 13 ohms each. The car ran great with them, very smooth idle and got 24mpg (automatic tranny VG). If anyone's interested in them, could be a cheap way of getting your max working well again on the cheap by replacing bad injectors with good used, make me an offer.
Installation tips: With any good used injector, to make it last, I'd recommend cleaning out their screens with some kind of mega-solvent while they are removed from the fuel rail. I found that indeed their screens can varnish up (you can test it by sealing with lips and trying to blow through it with your mouth... not a good taste though I know
), restricting the flow of the fuel through them sideway as it circulates through the fuel rail, and cause them to run hot and the coils to burn out. Be very careful not to put force on the plastic pintle tips when removing. I found a 10mm deep-well socket worked well to press them out.
Replace the 7" total of fuel injection hose with new while you've got the rails out, to ensure it doesn't leak. Be very careful not to drop the rail fastening hardware when removing it (there are 4 - repeat, FOUR! - plastic&steel washers per rail mounting bolt). Dropping a non-magnetic plastic washer into the intake port would really suck, as you couldn't use a magnet on a stick to fish it out! Stuff some paper towels into your open intake ports before removing your fuel rail mounts for some safety against this. Clean the bore in the fuel rails very thoroughly so the o-rings slide and seal against only clean metal. Using some grease (lithium or synthetic variety that is known not to attack rubber) on the OD of the injector o-rings will make the injectors go in very smoothly by hand. After installing your injectors in the rail but before installing the rail in the intake manifold, check your injectors for dripping by hooking up the fuel lines and cycling the key to the pre-start position, listen for the fuel pump to work, after a little bit turn it back off, and repeat until you don't hear fuel pump come on any more. Then wipe the tips of each injectors with a paper towel to verify no fuel came out. If there is any fuel leak, you must determine where it's coming from (injector tip or o-ring most likely) and fix it. Hope this helps... good luck!
