Fuel Injector Replacement

[i218127]

I want to replace all my fuel injectors. Any recommendations on which brand to get. At Rock Auto they have remanufactured units from BD (?)
and Autoline for about the same price. Anyone use them??? Also, Rock Auto only shows new injectors for the GLs. I have an L. Both the L and the GL have the same engine and specs. Not sure if there's and difference. Also...should I go with rebuilds or new. Please advise...

Same 1.3 motor...but why do you want to replace urs? they aren't really an issue on these cars unless they stopped firing for you....

Unless you have an injector with a bad coil you could have them cleaned and adjusted by Matt Dickmeyer. I believe he charges $21 an injector to fully clean, flow test and do pintle adjustments if needed. He also replaces the o-rings and pintle caps. Look for Dickmeyer Automotive on Facebook. He has a bunch of pictures of him cleaning and flow testing many different injectors.

As always...Thanks for the information.

Not a problem! I had Matt do my injectors but I havent had a chance to run my engine yet.

Gergorian.
The one mattdickmeyer first built an n/a beast for.
It still isn't up and running yet?

No, not yet but this weekend I may fire it for a few secs just to make sure it runs. it has no coolant in it but I will only run it for a few seconds. Man, I am getting giddy just thinking about it. Oh and I have my gauges mounted. Ill put some pics up in my build thread.

Good luck man.
Can't wait to see some videos of this beast.

Is it possible to Remove the fuel rail without separating the plenum from the manifold bottom?
My middle two injectors are leaking at the fuel rail end and I will need to replace the o rings.

I'm going to say no. But that's because I have big hands. And it'd be really difficult to verify alignment without that upper piece off.

I'm pretty sure you can get them out without pulling the upper intake.
It will be tight but I believe it's doable.

Yes it can be done . Remove lines , remove inj from rail , pull rail out , pull inj out with the harness .
Little tricky getting them back in . Sometimes with new seals you can just give them a twist one way and back and they seal up .

Thank everyone...
The rail is out and it really wasn't that difficult. I removed the pressure regulator while the rail was still bolted on.
That made it easier to slide the rail to the right and remove it on that side.
I'm going to remove the fuel rail from the manifold that was on Rosie when I bough her and install it. I have
not pulled the injectors from that rail and they were not leaking. First I'm going to Lowes to buy a bigger fire extinguisher.

I'll order some new seals and rebuild this rail later.
