OHM Fuel Injectors - My test results

[qship96]

texasoil are you saying the 96Q injectors are different from the 90-95 and more tolerant of ethanol?

Think he was saying that injectors on the 97Q41 made in 1996 are different from the 94-96 Q45.

Think he was saying that injectors on the 97Q41 made in 1996 are different from the 94-96 Q45.

But he refers to the other 5 injectors in his '94, that had been replaced by the previous owner.

"That's the 'postmortem' I did on 3 'original' ones off my '94--all went progressively HI ohms in 3 months of ethanol in gas. The other 5 had been replaced by P.O. just B4 I bought it 4 yrs/50K miles ago and have different potting compound. "

I hope he means injectors for the G50, including my '96.

update from replacing all my fuel injectors with rebuilt / refurbished injectors from Deatsch W E R K S. they said all mine were too far gone and sold me a set of 8 of their reconditioned units.

Well I have replaced 4 of them already with new injectors, and now I have 2 more that need replacement.

Moral of this story, is you're gonna replace them, use new only.

This initially was not the most fun job, but I did it myself, now I've had to go back in twice replacing 2 each time, and now I have to back in again and replace 2 more.

Congrats! At least you're getting closer to what the car performance specs should be.

New is new. Refurbished is used. Injectors are wear items.

Wow... that's not a good update - but we appreciate you taking the time to post it! I think I would just go ahead and replace all four - or at least move the remaining two remans to cylinders 1&2 so that you don't have to pull the "damn spider" a fourth time!

Why you always use brand spankin new parts, not cleaned or used- especially in jobs that are labor intensive.My original injectors have 210,000 miles on them,why gamble with anything less when time comes to replace them?

[maxnix]

And Q45tech's are closing in on 350K, with little or no ethanol run through them.
