Well, I guess being a 14 year old car with over 208,000 miles on it, it was about time for an injector to go on my ’92 SE. The #5 cylinder injector read an open instead of 11.5 ohms like the remaining five injectors. Since I also have a ’94 GXE with the VG30E engine with over 210,000 miles, I figured that I have good transportation until I get the VE30DE back up and running again.

Mistake # 1: Going to a local auto parts store to get a new (not rebuilt) injector. Even though all of the stores list having the proper injector for the VE30DE engine, they do not. Autozone, Advance Auto, Pep-Boys, Napa, etc all have the same “wrong” injector.



Okay, since I need to order gaskets and such, I ordered three new injectors from the dealership. As with anything, I have to wait for the parts to be shipped since no dealership in the area stocks the injectors. Wait time: three to four business days.

As luck would have it, the ’94 GXE starts to sputter and illuminates the Check Engine Light. However, this fault is an intermittent fault. Daym! What are the odds of having both cars down at the same time? Even though the ’94 started up bad twice, it started good on subsequent startups. Since I already have the ’92 ripped apart, I am going to wait until I get it back together before I do real troubleshooting on the ’94. Sure enough, later in the day, the ’94 fired up bad again.

***** it! The whole purpose of having two cars is so that I could have one while the other was out of commission.

I am now the proud owner of a 2006, Nissan Altima SE-R with the 6-speed manual transmission.




I thought about waiting for the 2007 models, but I figured I would get this now since it seems that Nissan may not do a SE-R trim level for the 2007 release. Nonetheless, I am still going to fix both of my Maxima’s and keep them. For 208,000 miles, the VE looks pretty good on the inside.

 

you could have gotten them in 2 days

 

If my car is idleing rough intermittantly and one injector leaks when cold. Do you think the problem could be related in your experience?

90 maxima SE 5 speed

 

i have 6 used VE injectors for sale....

 

If your injector is leaking at anytime, you definitely need to replace it as soon as possible. Are you getting a check engine light? Check your ECM codes to see if you have any injector related codes.

 

That's what I get. I know now.

 

how much for the used injectors??

 

2 of the injectors got messed up, i only have 4 left... gimme $15 per injector???

 

can you give me shipping cost to 45238..
also mine is a 93.


again thanks

 

1993 SE correct? with the VE motor

 

nope has a GXE

 

What were some signs of your injector going? I think mine might be, but I haven't had a check engine light pop up. I am having some bad startups and some good ones though on and off.

 

our check engine lights are LESS useful than an autometer A/F gauge

 

yea my #5 injector? went dead on saturday(center rear) it measured in at 432 ohms. i had a few bad starts but i kept thinking it was just a corroded harness. it finally stopped working when i was in new bedford an hour away. and in the same night i got pulled over twice. the best part of the night, no tickets. finally i had no reason for them to give me any.


i dont think my engine light has ever turned on other than when i turn the key to ignition

 

ditto on tis question....some real rough running....coincidentally right after getting it back from the dealer for replacing a rubber fuel hose near the filler neck....the car ran worse when i got it back than when i dropped it off

 

check your fuel filter
