HELP fuel Injectors
My maxima is a 1992 SE with the VE30DE engine. It has been running rough and we have done several tests to find the problem. When doing the tests we found that the problem was in cylinder #1. We checked the the coils by disconecting them, and the sparkplugs and they were fine so the problem was the injector. We checked the injector with a multiple meter and it was not getting any reading while the others were so the injector is bad. We have been searching around and we found that the auto parts have remanufactured injectors. The injectors we currently have say JECS A4-600. The one at the auto parts are Beck/Arnley, Niehoff, and Python. I can also get a new injector or get one from a junkyard and get it cleaned. Could i have different injectors running at the same time? Or should i change the whole row? What do you suggest.

reman injectors have a pretty bad rep, someone else can probably go into more detail on that. if you have the funds i suggest replacing the entire rail if you don't know how old the other ones are, it'll just save you problems in the longrun.

remans suck approximately as hard as Jenna Jameson. Pythons are as bad, or worse. Get new or get some from a JY. Test the ohms on the ones at the JY, of course.

take some advice from me and get new injectors. There is a guy on this forum, I think his name is Bryan, he has the new one's you need for the best price.
I went throught 2 sets of b/s remft injectors over a 3 month period and they all began to fail one at a time. A few of them are still lgood but I eventually bought a new set.
You have been warned...

If youre on a limited budget regarding the purchase of 6 new units then buy used ones and have them cleaned and tested. I sent 6 out about 3 mnths ago http://www.witchhunter.com/. There are several other cleaning facilities but a tad pricier with RC Engineering being the most expensive.
I would suggest sending at least 2 extras and also leaving them in the rail for the facility to reinstall them for an additional charge. You will also need new O rings upon reinstallation and I suggest OEM's.
Dont buy reman. there is nothing anyone can rebuild on these units barring replacing the o-rings and testing them.

I'm also interested in the set that FiveOMotorsports is selling. They list them as brand new OEM made by JECS. Does JECS still supply OEM to Nissan? I wonder if they have made any improvements to these injectors or do they share the same flawed design as the originals.
Interesting, Wikipedia says JECS was a joint venture between Bosch and Nissan so that Bosch could get into the Japanese market and Nissan could use their EFI technology. Hitachi bought out the company in 2002 and it looks like a lot of their stuff now comes out of China.
I haven't read of the Bosch injectors failing, but you see lots of JECS remans. Witchhunter lists the JECS as a "problem injector".
