So I am looking to do this swap but I still have a few questions. For an XJ like mine which is a 2001, it seems that I have two viable options for replacement injectors as far as this thread is concerned. Either the Neon 784 injectors or the Ford cb4 injectors. Now correct me if I am wrong but the Ford injectors will work but they are going to run a little on the lean side which could be a problem at sustained wide open throttle as compared to the stock injectors, that and they do not facilitate the clip to hold the injector perpecdicular to the head and therefore require an injector clip to be soldered to them to hold them in place. Now the Neon 784 injectors will swap right in, but they are a little older in design and are therefore not as fuel efficent as the Ford cb4 injectors. Am I understanding this correctly or am I way off? I want to make sure I have this down before I go throwing money around and melting pistons.

Anyway, I think the stock units rebuilt are fine... Please sell me your stock units.. I will trade you my new XR3Z's if you want for your stock units? Let me know.. They work great in the truck but Im not sure they made a diffrence worth talking about.. Adjusting my kickdown cable made the biggest diffrence in gas MPG

There are about 15 options for injectors. I have rebuild kit and 784's Im about to put in. Im running brand new for XR3Z's now.. I have to say i cleaned out the tube going from intake manifold to back of valve cover and my mileage went up and more power? Can that be possible?

From what I've read and experienced, the 784's are the best option for your '01. You shouldn't see a MPG decrease if you keep to your current driving style. It'll run rich when you first put them in, but if you remember to reset your ECU the fuel trim levels will correct themselves after 50 warm up cycles.

Sorry to jump in but i see a repeat again and again. This mod of changing injectors is in no way affiliated with MPG. This is just an uprgade from having a water pistol injector to a nicely atomized injector. If things flow at the same rate what in hell would make u think it will save you gas. i put the ford yellow in mine. and see no differences other that easier start, smoother idle, and better thottle response.
And im sure i can go back through this thread and highlight each and every post saying exactly what i just said. No horsepower gain unless you add forced induction and more fuel flow. Turbo/larger injectors/fuel pump/controllers etc. will be the only way to increase HP. and waste more fuel.

Pardon my ignorance but I'm having a long day and all of these numbers that are being thrown around are messing with my head. I have a 98 XJ sport. Am I correct that I would be looking for 703's? What vehicles did these come on. A buddy of mine thinks he has some in his yard and said I could come get them for free. If I can snag up extras I will.

I read the previous pages including the chart however this entire thread has been a B*%C^fit back and forth on which injectors to use. I will be sure to not pick up any spares to help since it appears help is not warranted here.

that goes around are those who just want to be a PITA. But y this and what about that, and i dont understand. The chart says what you will need and what will work, and what vehicles to get them from. Once you get that far there are threads showing how to clean and test them before you install. Sorry again.. i should be ok now.

Its alright I just got confused from the random BS posts and wanted clarification from someone who knew what they were talking about. Its nothing personal. Thanks for the clarification I printed out the chart and will take it with me and see how many sets i can scrape up save some members a little cash.

Sorry for the outbreak.. its just tireing reading all the same nonsense.. the chart states exactly what you need and what others use on there vehicles. The

oops my bad on that.. as to your questions.. You probably wont see much of an increase if any with the diff injectors. No matter which ones you choose. I have the 19 yellow ford injectors w/ no clip. They work great and see no differences, other then startup it easier, smoother idle, and better throttle response. You drive a jeep!! no where do it say GAS SAVER or Prius. The best ive seen here is 23mpg but that driving like grandma. So with that said and all the other bs its a straight forward swap explaining what will happen and what differences will be noticed. As for reseting the computer that only so your computer can relearn the system with new injectors.. Even though everything else is the same its better to do so.
Yes ford 19s will run lean at WOT(Wide open throttle) so if you want to "try" and save gas these might be your answer but you cant drive it with a lead foot. Mine doesnt seem to run lean at all
