Question AT Fuel Injectors

I need to swap out my fuel injectors but I don't know which color/size I need for my Automatic 8. If anyone knows the correct size/color please let me know. Thank you!

No wonder I couldn't get him on the phone. He's out helping people.

Have you tried some fuel conditioner/injector cleaner?

b&g 44k and seafoam are good choices.. you can now find seafoam at walmart..

i would do one can with half a tank..

but if the injectors are really clogged it will not do it.. removal and cleaning is the only way..

Here is how to get to your fuel injectors to get them cleaned

BEFORE REPAIR PROCEDURE

WARNING:


•Fuel is extremely flammable. Always keep sparks and flame away from fuel. Ignition may cause death or serious injury, or damage to equipment.
•Fuel line spills and leakage from the pressurized fuel system are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause serious injury or death and damage. Fuel can also irritate skin and eyes. To prevent this, always complete the "Fuel Line Safety Procedure".
CAUTION : If there is foreign material on the connecting area of the quick release connector, it might damage the connector or fuel pipe. To prevent this, when the quick release connector has been disconnected, clean the connecting area before reconnecting it.

Fuel Line Safety Procedure



1.Remove the fuel-filler can to release the pressure inside the fuel tank
2.Remove the fuel pump relay.
3.Start the engine.
4.After the engine stalls, crank the engine several times.
5.Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
6.Install the fuel pump relay.


FUEL INJECTOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION

1.Follow the before repair procedure and perform fuel line safety procedure.
2.Disconnect the negative battery cable.
3.Remove the extension manifold (upper). (See INTAKE-AIR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
4.Remove the extension manifold (lower). (See INTAKE-AIR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

5.Remove the VDI actuator bracket installation bolt and the position the VDI actuator out of the way.
6.Disconnect the fuel injector connector.

7.Remove in the order indicated in the table.
8.Install in the reverse order of removal.
9.Inspect the variable dynamic effect intake (VDI) actuator.
10.Inspect all parts by performing the "AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE".

Volcomx31 This is your best bet without removing the fuel injectors. http://www.bgfindashop.com/locator/index.php. And find a place that can do the Fuel/Air Induction Service on your car. BG also has a product just for fuel injectors

BG Fuel Injection System Cleaner

BG Fuel Injection System Cleaner is a specially formulated blend of solvents, high molecular-weight dispersants and deposit control additives which will quickly, effectively and safely clean fuel injectors and help remove upper engine deposits. This product is designed to be used with the BG 9210 Inject-A-Flush® Apparatus and BG 44K® Part No. 208. BG Fuel Injection System Cleaner contains deposit control additives which “pre-soak” rock-hard valve deposits. This allows the powerful cleaning ingredients in BG 44K® to provide even more effective cleanup. Not harmful to any fuel system components including gaskets, hoses, metals, fuel tank bladders, fuel pumps, O-rings, etc. Catalytic converter and oxygen sensor safe.

have done both seafoam, and have been a big fan of 44k.. but if you get a good clog in an injector only removal and replacement will work..

it happened to me..
