Need CPI??? Screw eBay!

[chembrad]

When it comes to getting CPI's, screw eBay I say. People are jacking up the prices to $200+. I saw some peeps selling on eBay for $275!?? I ain't got time for this crap.

So I went surfing around on the web and I found the AC Delco 217-1341 CPI from Delphi for $225.69 ($210.69+$15S&H) AIR delivery!

And you don't have to wait for days on end to see if your bid wins!

How about you lower your arrogant attitude.

I bought mine off of ebay for US$175 + $10 shipping and it worked great for me.

Don't bash it if you are not using it and drink a tall glass of patience.

I just don't have the time to play games. And I'm not arrogant. More fed -up.

If you have time to play the auction game, then be my guest.

If you are like me and don't have the time, then pony up an additional $50 and get the part without any games

I thought this info would be useful for others since it took me a while to find this low of a price..

[BlazerLT]

Wel,, that is your opinion and you only checked out ebay for a short time.

I had no problems with mine and it was great and if you shop right you can save a bundle.

You should also check out www.gmpartsdirect.com and partszoneonline.com

Here are the prices I found to add to what has already been said in this thread:

gmpartsdirect partszoneonline autozone.com
CPI 17113673 $247.57 $284.71 $364.99
Nut kit 17112705 $ 40.20 $ 46.23 $ na
Gasket 10105939 $ 7.96 $ 9.15 $ 9.49

And BlazerLT, I agree that you "can" save money on eBay. I have saved a lot. But when I don't have the time and I need the part ASAP, then eBay is not the way to go.

Some people have said that gmpartsdirect charges more for S&H than partszoneonline, I don't know because I have never ordered the same part from both

I don't know about S&H either, but gmpartsdirect is $37 cheaper on a CPI unit. I don't think shipping is going to be that much different (I could be wrong).

Besides, you can get the CPI cheaper on eBay (if you have time) or getgmparts.com ($225 including 2nd day air)

Did you install it yourself or have the work done for you?

It sounds like it may be the fuel injection system still.

Did you have the nut kit (2 fuel lines going to the CPI) changed? You may have fuel spraying from cracked lines into the plenum.

Check your fuel pressure with the key on, engine off. Pressure should be 55-61 psi. If it is lower, then check your fuel pump. If the pressure checks fine, then it sounds like the problem is under the plenum.

bla bla bla bly..............
well I did mine about 3 months ago and the total cost was over $500. I had it installed for about 80. labor...this is an expensive repair...I did not plan on and I usu...use used / rebuilt parts...but now ine runs fine and it has returned to about 20mpg...

I am happy... :o)

[BlazerLT]

You used used parts? Not smart at all.

You just paid 500 for an injector that might last for 1000, 10000 or maybe 100,000 miles.

You never know whenthe used part will fail too.

For $500 you could have purchased a brand new nut kit, injector and plenum seal and done it yourself.

Your EGR valve needs cleaning with TB cleaner and reinstalled with a new EGR gasket.
