I am about to send my fuel injectors out to Mr. Injector. I have an intermittent one so I want to get them cleaned. I emailed Bill at Mr. Injector about my situation and he replied right away and told me to send a couple extras just in case.
My question to you guys: I have an old 2.1 in the garage that I can steel a couple injectors off of. My engine is a 1.9. Are these injectors interchangeable?

My injectors are cooled by the gasoline going through them.

The water cooled injectors are the same. The Air Cooled ones are Different.

Since the question was posted here and I wondered myself before sending my injectors off to have them cleaned by Mr. Injector, I wanted to comment about engine performance observations post cleaning.
I have taken two short trips (<200mi) and a long trip (1,400mi) since getting my injectors cleaned. Mine were not terribly dirty: out of 50, flow was 48, 47, 49, and 50. The most significant difference I have found is that the van can now cruise at a higher highway speed. The sound of the engine used to limit me to about 65-67mph. Now I hear the same effort at 70-75mph. My RPMs at that speed are 3400-3600.
There ya go...
James

Hmm,
Having my injectors serviced by Mr. Injector appears to have fixed a hot start problem I was having.

Reporting another great Mr. Injector experience. Website says 3-4 days turnaround right now. I shipped on Tuesday 7/24 from NC to ID. Received my refreshed injectors back Monday 7/30- one day turn around based on shipping tracking.
Under promise and over deliver- always a good way to do business.
And, although my baseline wasn't that bad (3 "good" at 48-49 flow rate, 1 "fair" at 45), I swear the van's running at least .5% better with full flow rates across the board now.
All for 77 dollars, shipping included.

I want to send my injectors out for rebuild, but I'm wondering if I should pick up some more injectors to send along in case there are any bad ones out of my originals. My van runs fine, so how would I know if I have a bad one?
I just don't want to be without the van for weeks because I had a bad injector, and had to find another used one to send out after the fact.
Thoughts? |

If your bus runs fine then it is a low chance that one injector is so bad they cannot fix it. I'd take that chance. YMMV.

I had similar thinking. Just wanted to confirm, thanks! |
