49900, Rc cleaning stock injectors worth it?
Posted by pn0ymahal, Apr-26-03 08:06 PM
i either plan to buy new 252cc accel injector, or have my old ones cleaned, blueprinted, tested etc by rc. is it worth it overall? it cost $24 each to clean. reason i want to use my stock injectors is because i plan to do the 8-injector setup and i would love to have stock idle fuel pressure again. but does this service by rc really make a difference overall?
let me know
thanks

How many miles on the injectors?

I do think it's worth it for old/dirty injectors, because they flow test and balance them. But only if the injectors are dirty, and need it.

$24/ea gets 'em cleaned, balanced and all that? Think it's worth it on a set with 140K on em? Maybe help out a bit?

it good to get them cleaned if you plan to use them. but for like $31 more you can get accel 240cc or 252cc etc (close to stock)
i might get the 240cc accel

the local pep boys here will clean injectors. so i'm probably going to hit them up to see if that will cure my lean fuel system CEL.

Would the car still run/idle the same with 240cc?

(Not to jack the post, but taloniized, do you have an email addy that WORKS? Between John, Chris and I, we have 2 different ones that constantly bounce when we try to send you anything.)

Do most Pep boys clean injectors? How much?

with the 240cc if its true ours stock injectors are 235cc then the worst that could happen is that you run richer..
