ennacac Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 I have a 89 Pathfinder with an injector that is leaking quite a bit and was wondering what the advice of the forum would be about either replacing it of having it rebuilt? Also, any suggestions on where I could have this done or where to get a replacement injector? Thanks Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY1PATH Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 well I think new injectors for the tbi range 300-400(each) and your supposed to replace them in pairs.... take it to the wrong mechaninc and he could easily have you shell out a Grand for parts and labor. No f$#ing way right? then there's python performance who sells reman'd unints in pairs (Possibly modified 'Perforamance') for considerably less but mine always smelled rich and BOTH failed elecrtically in 4 months. I was lucky; an electrical failure of the TBI injector has been documented to led to permenant damge to the ecu. the symptom of this damage is that it seems fine but keeps wrecking future injectors.... (lucky yours is leaking) so screw python, since the BOTH failed @ the same time... IMO the best way to go is to find a working set of used injectors or if your lucky enough to find somone good to rebuild yours do that. I try to grab injectors (or whole tbi units with sensors) whenever I'm in the JY. Both z24i and vg30i units are compatible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPath88 Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 If you go new shop around, you can find them or considerably less. A local NAPA (Independent store not a corporate one) found me a set for somewhere between 150 and 250, I can't remember the exact price any more. It was one item... both injectors, all wired up with the connectors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ennacac Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 Last question on this topic, can I remove the injectors without taking off the Throttle Body and pushing them out from the bottom like the book recommends? The throttle body looks like a real pain to remove. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 You "can" just dismantle the top of the TB, and pry them out, I did it before without any damadge, just have to be carefull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
