Hello guys I haven't been here in a long time. I haven't had any problems with my 93 sohc in a while. Just the other day I started the car and it was running really rough. To make a long story short I found that one injector stopped firing. It just happened.

I bought a used set and tested them. All tested good but one and they fire strong. I used a old harness to connect to each injector and the needle went all the way to the right(on 1x and 10x setting). It's the same method I use for a continuity test. Is this a good way to test them? The bad one the car reads 0 just like the bad used one.

One more thing. When I got the injectors it appeared some idiot tried to take them out and smashed the plastic clips on the end. They have 4 fingers on them. Should I relplace them? I can't get them to pop off without destroying them. Where can I get them from? The dealer?

Thanks
WES

 

That idiot could be me ... ol plastic is brittle. Dont care as long as connectors are good, use tie wraps to prop the connectors in...

 

JY is your best bet. Yours is the kind with the button or the metal ring? i'm thinking button..

 

Nissan has to have a part list on them. If I go to the junkyard that old brittle plastic is just gonna break again. I need some new ones so I can rip the old ones off and snap the new ones on.

I don't know what you mean by metal ring but if it's the tip your talking about then they are like buttons.

do a search of this section for pintle caps. there is a place that sells replacements, though on some injectors they aren't needed.

 

My man!!! That's what I was looking for. Thankyou so much. I did some reading and will not put that injector back in without the cap.

Piece of mind means a lot.

but apparently not enough to buy new

 

No smartypants. No where near. I've swapped out injectors on cars I modded and help modded and these things are durable as crap. I still can't believe this one just died. I have tugged, stomped, hammered, heated, ect........ on so many injectors. The are surprisingly durable.

If it was some sort of sensor that would be a different story. I'm gonna stay with the used ones. I'll clean it and will be good to go.

do u have the connector that uses a metal snap ring ?? if so, goto the dealer and get the injector repair harness that was used for the 2nd gen maxima fuel injector harness recall.
