02silverpathy Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I have decided to change out the 2 bad injectors in my path to help attain her full street value...I have read the FSM and it all looks easy but if anyone out there has replaced them--or--replaced the O rings in there let me know as you will actually be helping me earn a difference of about $1500 more (private retail vs. wholesale) Thanks in advance....

5523Pathfinder Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 (edited) Which injectors are they? If they are the 1-3-5 injectors, they are a piece of cake. Unscrew the screws on the caps, be sure to use the right size screwdriver or you will strip them. If you do, use a pair of vicegrips or something to get them off. To get the injector out, you will need to twist them back and fourth while pullling on them to get them to pop out. This may not be the easiest thing to do. I have had to pry on them to get them out with two flatblade screwdrivers. Once they are out and ready to reinstall, hopefully you replaced the o-rings, coat them with a little engine oil. The oil will lubricate the seals and help them slide into place. Pushing down on them will usually get them in, but you may need to seat them by reinstalling the caps. The oil may cause a slight misfire upon startup, but it will go away after a few minutes. Be sure to check for leaks right away. If you need to replace the 2-4-6 injectors then the intake will need to come off. Hope that helps.

I have to be honest they looked as easy as you describe, but I didn't want to faulk myself anymore than i have already!! Thanks a mil! So should I buy all the new rubber rings/gaskets for the 2 ? (2 o rings and one basket looking rubber spacer for each ) Edited November 13, 2006 by 98silverpathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5523Pathfinder Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Hey the new o-rings are cheap insurance if you ask me. I always replace them, I dont want to call the fire department when Im working on a car. Glad I could help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlg Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 can you change just the nozzles or do you have to change the whole thing? I ask because on vw's its a standard thing just to change the nozzles. Much easier on the wallet as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5523Pathfinder Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 The injectors themselves are one piece, only the o-rings are serviceable. I imagine someone somewhere has rebuilt them. Some places can clean them(Dr. Injector). The injectors sit inside the rail and are fed fuel. No replacement of the rail is necessary. Its one piece and pretty dependable. Just remember to replace the o-rings as rule of thumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
