Replacing fuel injectors

[rain406]

Would there ever be a reason to replace them with OEM ones? For a car with 150k, would it make a difference in restoring the original power?

yes it could.New injectors have a very fine spray patern after many miles the become partialy clogged or get a build up and thr spray patern is affected and can cause a lack of power and/or mileage.Cleaning injectors is very crucial for milage and power.Thge stuff you add to the tank is not strong enough to clean them properly.I used injector out of an Aspire because the have I believe 4 pinels(sp) instead of 1 in the Festiva injector.As far as OEM replacements I don't guess that is important as buying a quality injetor.I ran some stock ones out of a Mustang for awhile.The big difference is in the flow like 24lbs per hr.I may be wrong on the lbs part but they are rated by flow.

you can have a set of 4 sent to witchhunter.com, they will bench test them for you and then disasemble, clean and re-assemble using brand new parts and it would cost you $64 bucks I believe, and that price is for all 4 too be done.

Have you ever sent any off and how did it turn out?
