284 Excellent

285 Excellent

286 Excellent

284 Excellent



System balance went from 4.7% to a tidy 0.7%



Pretty happy with those results, that's GOT to be worth a few BHP....and certainly some smoothness.

dropping mine off today - thanks - doing the whole "major tune up" thing

What do they typically charge for this service..?

If I remember correctly, somewhere in the ballpark of $120-130, not including removal of course.

I've heard good things about Marren Injection....

http://www.injector.com/injectorservice.php



I'm probably going to send mine out to them pretty soon.

They do seem to be the good east coast resource. I've heard the same.

rc is $24 each - typically one day turnaround - dropped off today - i should be picking them up tomorrow

Bob: how many miles on your car now and did they look carboned up?

43k



didn't look bad - the age was the major motivation - sitting as much as it has leads to varnish - this was further indicated by the failure on the bleed down test - it is supposed to hold 2 bar of pressure at 20 minutes - didn't get close



injector #1 before 287cc after 291cc

injector #2 before 284cc after 290cc

injector #3 before 271cc after 289cc

injector #4 before 281cc after 290cc



looks like #3 was the goofy one causing me the "problem"



good to go now - should run very nicely with these, a new hotter coil, 8mm wires, rotor, cap, O2 sensor, and another set of the iridium plugs



installing A/F guage at the same time, so i can dial mixture in according to altitude

I have nearly double that mileage, so I'm looking forward to a noticeable improvement after I have mine cleaned.

Bob: don't let the smog tech see anything that changes the a/f mix... <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/wink.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />

no worries - this is just a cleaning and reset to factory spec on the injectors - no mod - everything else is transparent and legal



the mixture thing won't be an issue - there is no preclusion from adjustment capability
