Recommendation: Injector rebuilding

I just got my injectors back from Fuel Under Pressure for my 93 Max GXE. They rebuilt them and found a bad one. I got all 6 for $84 plus a few bucks shipping, a damn site better than the $25 a piece most other rebuilders want. Got a full report too, showing the values of each injector, new o rings, pintles, etc. I highly recommend them, fast courteous service and you can actually call them and talk to the fellow doing the work, Vaughn. He knows his stuff.

Go to http://www.fuelin.com/ . I have no other association with these guys except that I'm a satisfied customer.

They ran perfectly when I installed them. 5 were good, he told me one was bad. Then an interesting thing happened, I started getting a chug chug miss again, similar to what led me to getting them cleaned in the first place. I narrowed it down to, you guessed it, another injector. Now here's the interesting part, it ran fine for a day when I installed them yesterday, then stopped working. Vaugh had told me originally that he thought two were bad, but then one started reading OK (ohms resistance). He chalked it up to maybe a bad connection, but I think what it really was is that one was intermittently bad. How you'd catch that I do not know. I'd say that if you get a bad resistance reading on one, and then it is OK later, pitch it unless you enjoy removing and reinstalling the plenum, which is what I had to do. I replaced it with another new injector and voila, eveything is hunky dory again. At $75 an injector, it's pricey to buy new ones, but weigh that against thr trouble of install/reinstall, which is pesky.
