I'm amazed that AC Delco injectors are $225 each or more?? Is there rare metals and a built in computer inside? It looks like a mechanical orifice with 2 electrical posts sticking out? Visually I'm seeing a good spray pattern but not getting good performance at low end of RPMs. Runs good at highway speeds, no falter, sputter or miss.
I'd be interested in taking them out, soaking in cleaner or doing a clean procedure if that is possible with typical hand tools and solvents (soak for a while?) It would seem directly cleaning them with a brush would be more reliable than putting techron or gumout or whatnot in the fuel tank and hope it cleans them over time.
The other option (unless oem is highly recommended by you folks) is to get an aftermarket injector which looks like it would be a reasonable thing in a simple device. Oreilly and autozone have different brand injectors both about $50 each. The interesting thing is they charge a Core charge equal to their value which makes me think the aftermarket ones are simply 'cleaned' originals that are resold maybe?
Anyone know why there would be a core charge on a possibly 30 year old injector and what is done with them from here?
