This is why you MUST flow test injectors...
I bought a set of 6 370 cc injectors. I got a GREAT price on them. $135 shipped. I checked the resistance on them, 10.x was the lowest and 12.x was the highest.
5 of them were cleaned and flow tested over 400cc min. 1 of them was bad. RC was not even able to do a test on it before it was cleaned. They tried several attempts to get it to flow, none worked. I was not charged ANYTHING for the effort on that injector.
If I would NOT have had them flow tested, I would not have known that I was running lean in a cylinder until the ECU or dyno a/f. I could have blown my motor.
Just a little note from me to yall. Take the time to get everything right, then install it on the car.

Are these RC Engineering injectors or the 300zx injectors and where did you purchase them? The reason i ask is because i am interested in getting a set

Whether they are telling the truth or not i got one from a buddy for 150. So what kind of options do i have for injectors besides RC Engineering? I checked the safc and it lit up when hooked up to the battery

Bags if the RCs have the same connector they will work on our cars.
Chris I highly doubt you fried your ECU, I would put the wiring just the way you found it. and start all over again.

You should only flow test used ones, right?
Mine appear to be working OK at least. 8)

Well IMHO, if I bought brand new ones, I would not flow test them, unless I got a HELL of a deal on them.
Mine were USED. I should have put the word used into my statement.
