Bosch from what I hear is the best.

Currently, I'm using Beck Arnley injectors and they're holding up pretty well. They look the closest to OEM. Stay the hell away from Python injectors.

So far thumbs up on two brands.
On 93GXE, one injector has an open circuit. Is the valve stuck open or closed, gas leaking in or stuck shut?

Replace 6 or just the bad one?

Considering how expensive these injectors are, I would just do them 1 at a time. Who knows how long the originals could last. I have 3 originals left. I'm personally going to spend the reserve money on a backup transmission....rebuild one - when the going is good, and the car starts running smooth for a yr, I know what's going to happen - this RE4F02A is going to blow unexpectedly, and i'll be stuck.

What's the typical life on the fuel injector? In mile and years? Has the EtOH rich gas shortened the injector's life?

I notice the insultation on the injector wires are cracking. Any good place for replacement harness or wire sets? The engine has overheated about 5 years ago. Did warp head, but some indication on tensioner, trace of melted rubber from timing belt.

JECS is the OEM injectors
I just changed all 6 injectors in my 91 Max with Bosch (new) from Rockauto.com $115 each.
Don't forget to order the o-ring packs. The car runs great. Change the 2 fuel rail hoses while your in there with fuel injection hose 5/16''

Thanks for all the advise. The Bosch injector were locally out of stock, then when from $120 to $150. Got the Neihoff 57678, which is likely the same as the Borg Wagner (BWD 57678) for $145. The original was with a yellow dot. The Neihoff 57678 replaces both yellow and green dot one. Guess there's not much difference between a yellow and green dot injector. Injector price in CA just when dramatic up in price. 20% to 35% in one week.
