have you tried cleaning yours? They can be cleaned. YOu can buy a kit off the internet that contains the upper screen, o-rings and tip cap. Napa carries a kit that contains just the tip cap and o rings but not the screen. I used carb cleaner to clean mine out, tapping them up side down on a block of wood to clear the gunk out of the upper screen.
it seems unlikely for all injectors to go bad at once and need total replacement. |

| yeah i cleaned them and replaced the O rings when the problem started happening. I dont think they are all bad. if i remember correctly #1 is defiantly bad and i think 2 or 3 is intermittent. But the car wont even start up any more, for a while i could get it started but now it wont even catch. |

Send them here: http://www.southbayfuelinjectors.com/servtree--.html
For $15 apiece they'll clean, thoroughly test, replace all screens and seals, flow match, etc, etc. They'll basically be like new.
I've used them before with good results. _________________ Dan.
