Rebuilt fuel injectors?!?

[Renzy]

What is everyones opinion on rebuilt fuel injectors I need to replace and trying to save money?!?

fuel injectors aren't usually rebuilt, they're replaced w/ new units. If you have bad injectors, you have to replace them, they can't be rebuilt.

[Renzy]

the parts stores say that they have remanufactured injectors so isnt that rebuitl!?!

[Renzy]

Just for you I will rephrase myself its remanufactured not rebuilt sorry

[theFREAKnasty82]

It's just odd to hear of "rebuilt" or "remanufactured" fuel injectors. In my years of working on cars, I've never come across re-maned injectors. Oh well, to each his own, if they are re-maned, ok, as long as they give you a lifetime warranty is all that is matters in my opinion.

thanks for input

As part of an optimized fuel injection system, this part is important to your car's health; the deterioration of a fuel injector over time can lead to lower gas mileage and terrible efficiency, as well as problems like rough idle or hesitation. Whether you're notified of this by your shop, or you are looking to optimize the performance of your vehicle, there are options for replacing a fuel injector that just isn't performing the way you want it to.

Used Fuel Injectors

A mechanic can drop a used fuel injector into your vehicle to replace an inefficient or broken one. Many times, this is a great solution; you'll notice your car running better and go on your way. But used fuel injectors are not necessarily optimized for best performance, either, and your replacement could be a shot in the dark.

Refurbished Fuel Injectors

When you order refurbished fuel injectors, you're ordering a part that has been "built back up" to the original company specifications. Technicians take old fuel injectors and subject them to testing for spray patterns, flow rates, and other types of calibrations, including any electrical items that can affect either performance or diagnosis down the road.
Think of a "refurbished" fuel injector as "like new"; it may not be as shiny as if it had come straight from the assembly line, but its components are checked and often come with a warrantee. A refurbished fuel injector is sure to provide the kind of fuel line improvements you're looking for when you opt to trade out your existing fuel injector on a used vehicle.

Compatibility

Whether it's a used or refurbished fuel injector, you have to be sure your replacement is made for the specific type of fuel your car runs on. In today's diverse fuel world, with choices like ethanol and fuel mixes, it's all the more important to distinguish between fuel injections systems and parts. Make sure you have the parts that are right for your ride.

It's nothing unusual to take bad, or dirty fuel injectors to a diesel shop for a micro bath, blow out, and test the flow rate.
